the ice maiden (1915) – edmund dulac
1915 you say! this looks like something a modern day illustrator would create and sell prints of on etsy. except 1000 x better (edmund would have been a hit on etsy)
we’re in the middle of a month long heatwave & right now i’m just a bit sick of it. south african summers have a way of really driving the point home in february/march (as if to say, haha you buggers! feel me while you can because soon you’ll be cursing winter and i’ll be laughing at you from the other side of the world). i much prefer summer’s more mild-mannered cousin, autumn – please come now.

little brother (1921) – norah neilson gray
i’m expanding on my daily painting posts a bit. making it more interesting for me, for you.
Neither the cold of winter nor the gloom of the Great Depression kept the children of New York City from enjoying Central Park, the city’s greatest green space. Artist Carl Nelson had almost as much fun as the children, drawing by the hour despite the chill of February 1934. When his hands got cold, Nelson recalled, he “would go to the monkey house in the Central Park Zoo to warm up.”
