I really like Bev Doolittle. I will check out the ones I don't know. thanks. MB
Hi Jen, I guess I had checked the artists out before. I have a copy of what I am thinking is a woodpecker on my computer as wallpaper. Pen Brady. I like Brady very much. Line cutting is very interesting. I do Scrapper art which is chalkboard covered with black india in and the etched with your drawing. So it is black and white though some artists add color. fun to do. MB

Is Bev Doolittle the one that does those great paintings where it looks like just wilderness until you look closer and you find hidden animals blending in to the back ground?

Yes, Elizaray - that's her. I've always loved her work.
MB, I've tried some Scrapper art - only I know it as scratchboard. Have a really good book called Scratchboard for Illustration by Ruth Lozner. Would like to experiment more - it IS fun!
(ps - Pen Brady is my amazingly talented aunt. She and my equally talented uncle, Padraic Brady, work for Chase Studio http://www.chasestudio.com/, where they design natural history exhibits - very cool!)

Here's another one -
Emily Carr
1871-1945

I just "discovered" her. A northwest native, her art even seems to smell like the moist forests and shores.
From her biographical info:
"Carr was most heavily influenced by the landscape and First Nations cultures of British Columbia, and Alaska. Having visited a mission school beside the Nuu-chah-nulth community of Ucluelet in 1898, in 1908 she was inspired by a visit to Skagway and began to paint the totem poles of the coastal Kwakwaka’wakw, Haida, Tsimshian, Tlingit and other communities, in an attempt to record and learn from as many as possible. In 1913 she was obliged by financial considerations to return permanently to Victoria after a few years in Vancouver, both of which towns were, at that time, conservative artistically. Influenced by styles such as postimpressionism and Fauvism, her work was alien to those around her and remained unknown to and unrecognized by the greater art world for many years. For more than a decade she worked as a potter, dog breeder and boarding house landlady, having given up on her artistic career."
