Edward Lear

Edward Lear, artist, writer and lyricist published many books of his nonsense drawings and lyrics. I especially love his Nonsense Botany. The books are rare and expensive but worth adding to your collection.

The Annunciation

This is my favorite image of The Annunciation. This was done by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and what makes this piece significant was the casualty of the scene. Most Annunciations are ornate and formal with Mary gilded in gold and her eagerness to accept God's plan for her. Instead this scene shows Mary in bed being awoken and surprised by the angel Gabriel. Not only is Mary surprised but her face shows fear and anxiety over what God has requested of this young women. I love this piece because it shows Mary's youth and humanness. I remember studying this in college and understanding why it is such an important part of Art History.

Fabulous Glasses

Kitchen Tiles

These are reproductions of antique French tiles, but I still thought they were beautiful and done right in a kitchen they could be fabulous.

Mirrored Sconce

I thought this is a beautiful example of a mirrored sconce. The mirrors on this are in a web pattern.
