I've always loved those paintings and illustrations that transport you someplace new...I can sometimes stare at a picture for what feels like hours getting lost in the details, and daydreaming of what could happen in such a place....my eyes trace every visible line and follow along streets, turning corners until I'm almost trapped in the painted world....book illustrations especially...names like Arthur Rackham, Trina Schart Hyman, Winsor McKay, Roberto Innocenti, and there are so many more. these artists bring alive worlds and people which are so inviting, so welcoming it's hard not to get lost for awhile...hence the power of books and art.....
