Lisa, I really like this one! The Hopper is great. You are really getting into your alphabet groove!
Thanks Meg! The Hopper is my favorite too. “I” will continue…
Super post again Lisa!
I’m fond of the Hopper one too, the Hals is great as well. “I” look forward to the next one!
Thanks Rita! Not too much beginning with I… J is looking rather slim as well. Must go and rattle the muse.
I adore this series and so admire your versions of famous paintings and your illuminated journals. I’ve subscribed to your blog and am so excited to have found you through your comments on mine! I really like your blog template. Is it a standard wordpress template or have you customized one? It’s very elegant and works so well with your artwork.
Hi Jana! The template is from WPDesigner, and was one of their freebies. There’s a link at the very bottom of the blog page to their website, but I noticed they’ve changed ownership recently. The website is also a free template, and I changed the colors of both templates. I can send you text files of what I have if you’re interested.
I’m really glad you’re enjoying the series. It’s been a great way to learn about a lot of artists that I’d never heard of before.
