The Art of Life
Photobucket I'm so glad you're here! "The Art of Life" is where I share my journey as an artist & Momma. It's a place where I hope to encourage other women that they are artists too. In this small little space I seek to share, document, and be reminded of God's wonderful grace, all around us. ....And I would be so happy to have you journey alongside me! So grab a cup of coffee and linger for a while. I hope you leave feeling refreshed. Photobucket

~~I've mentioned before how much I love vintage children's illustrations. Today I've been ooohing and aaaaahing over the lovely work of the Belgian artist Marcel Marlier.
Such innocence and sweetness captured.

Ever since I read "Martine au zoo" in 1993, I have admired these illustrations, but I didn't learn the name of the artist. I, too, love vintage illustrations of children. And Marlier is awesome! I'm happy to have rediscovered his work. There is a modern version of the Martine series with different illustrations. Why would anyone substitute these charming pictures! I'm buying a version of the original "Martine au zoo" today. Thanks for posting.

I enjoyed visiting your blog.

Sincerely,
Nana
