I need to remember this artist, Mabel Dwight. Beautiful work.
An enjoyable few hours this morning has been spent valuing and cataloguing an art collection including prints by the American artist Mabel Dwight. This is 'Queer Fish,' from 1936.

The news is so awful lately, it feels frivolous to post a drawing when there are much more important things. I encourage everyone to love the earth, and hug their families. #mixedmedia #traditionalart #watercolour #illustration

The Armourer’s House by Rosemary Sutcliff - a Tale of Tudor London. I loved this book so much as a child that it inspired me to read history at university and then to set up Manderley Press - precisely so that I could bring it back to life for a whole new generation of readers #booksky
