Wishing you all a peaceful evening as night falls in Anton Pieck’s (1895-1987) fairy-tale world. Sweet dreams, all you kind ones ♥️✨

A full moon shines over an ancient European-looking village that rests against a series of hills at dusk…an ancient tree stands nobly in the foreground with its branches in beautiful silhouette… the village is reminiscent of the settings of old, literary fairy tales…there is a quiet enchantment to the scene. a

stepping into Beatrix Potter’s (1866-1943) peaceful & natural world for a moment 🍃

A red squirrel quietly looks for nuts on a late summer day, under a canopy of birch and other older, lush & green trees…a path through the woods charts the way through Beatrix Potter’s imagined, green & thriving forest & world.

Just stopping by to wish you all a peaceful night…sweet dreams, everyone 🤎 (art Victoria Maderna)

A sweet & solitary squirrel enjoys some moon & stargazing in summer from atop his favourite perch —the branch of an old & tall tree. Beneath him is a vast pine & boreal forest & soft hills. Above him is a luminous, large & glowing moon with twinkling stars in the sky. It’s a contemplative & sweet scene.

An older mouse reads to a younger mouse on a wooden bed in a cozy room with a bedside table & a quilt, & a glowing lantern lit by candle in their tree home…with the roots exposed on the walls, books around them, & warm drapes. It’s a snug scene.

Flowers, c.1660-c.1718, by #AnnaKatharinaBlock (German, 1642-1719), who died #otd, July 19. Held by Staatliches Museum Schwerin; source, commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:An... #womenartists #artherstory

A portrait-mode, close-up painting of a flower bouquet in what looks to be a glass vase. The seven central blossoms are large, many of them with multiple layers of petals. The three large flowers in the middle, stacked one over the other, are pink; to the viewer's left are two large white flowers; toward the top right is an orange flower; and at about middle right is a red flower. There are a few smaller flowers and buds scattered through the bouquet. In terms of fauna, there is (at least) a yellow butterfly toward the top right; a white butterfly or moth to the left of the top white flower; and a ladybug on the right-most petal of that top white flower.

‘July Night,’ Childe Hassam, circa 1898

A woman walks through a scene of glowing & hanging red & green lanterns on a summer night in July… she wears a cape or shawl and is dressed in an evening gown, formally…. given the artist’s preferences, the scene is likely in a lively, cosmopolitan city in summer.
