Old Sketchbooks – splendorous realms
https://splendorousrealms.wordpress.com/2016/09/12/old-sketchbooks
Art,nature,photography,surface design,textile design. Art and Design Sales. September 12, 2016. My drawings are pretty loose and lacking detail….and the perspective is off. But I DO recall our instructor gave me a pass because she rather liked what she referred to as the “nervous quality” of my line work. I think my “nervous” line work is more likely about my avoidance of straight lines and my preference for curves. Check out this table…. Might be an amusing wall paper print?

Cranford Roses – splendorous realms
https://splendorousrealms.wordpress.com/2015/12/31/cranford-roses
Art,nature,photography,surface design,textile design. Art and Design Sales. December 31, 2015. December 31, 2015. I vaguely recall the pilot film for “The Waltons” in which Patricia Neal’s character expressed surprise at being brought roses by her husband in the middle of a snowstorm at Christmas time. Well on this last day of December we have yet to see any snow in these parts. Indeed the freakishly warm weather has induced trees to blossom and the roses have still not gone dormant. Roses by the Hudson.

Coral Seas Fantasy – splendorous realms
https://splendorousrealms.wordpress.com/2016/01/07/coral-seas-fantasy
Art,nature,photography,surface design,textile design. Art and Design Sales. January 7, 2016. It seems a number of folks enjoyed the “Jaguar Paradise” post last month. Thanks to all for the kind words.So for this first post of the new year I am continuing the theme of animal life with an imagining of life in a coral reef. As I never learned to swim I rely on aquariums and books for a suggestion of deep sea life. This lion fish photo was taken at an aquarium in Vegas. Coral Seas Fantasy Bill Jackson2015.

Surreal Mashup – splendorous realms
https://splendorousrealms.wordpress.com/2016/02/01/surreal-mashup
Art,nature,photography,surface design,textile design. Art and Design Sales. February 1, 2016. February 1, 2016. While viewing a stunning example of “Trompe L’Oeil” painting by William Harnett I had a flashback to art school days when students were required to go through this exercise. I never came anywhere near the mastery shown by Mr. Harnett. Still Life-Violin and Music William Harnett. But I like the illusory,surreal quality of this type of thing. Sometimes objects appear to float in space . Notify me...

Art,nature,photography,surface design,textile design. Art and Design Sales. March 2, 2016. I have been exploring the theme of water gardens in my art work lately.

June Garden – splendorous realms
https://splendorousrealms.wordpress.com/2016/02/25/june-garden
Art,nature,photography,surface design,textile design. Art and Design Sales. February 25, 2016. I kept my eyes open hoping to catch a glimpse of a scarlet tanager. I have been fascinated by this bird for years;seeing photos and illustrations in various field guides and encyclopedias. Though they are reputed to spend some time in the northeast;I have yet to see a live specimen with my own eyes. So I have used artistic license ….incorporating this fellow into my fantasy of a back yard in June. Follow splend...
