THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE ART:
It’s so fun to see the world coming to life again in spring and to see all the delightful little characters coming out into the world after a cold winter.
When I was young I had a lot of art books that featured the children’s book illustrations from the turn of the last century or before. These little relief print illustrations feature 10 different small animals. They are inspired in part by the illustrations of Arthur Rackham, Earnest Shepard who illustrated the Wind In The Willows, and, of course, Beatrix Potter.
