It's Saturday and I am needing a little break from blog entries. Never fear, I have quite a few things planned for next week, things that were planned for yesterday and today, but will come a few days later instead.
Anyway, on Saturdays I am always prone to simply share pretty pictures because I was raised by an art historian. And I love pretty pictures. So here is an illustration for Beauty & the Beast by Kirsi Salonen. (Click through to see a large image of it.)
You can see more of Salonen's work at her gallery although this is the only piece there that is directly fairy tale inspired. I first saw the image through a great blog, Children's / Fantasy Illustrations. Now what does it say about me that this piece reminds me of Eleanor Vere Boyle more than anything else? (Besides that I have spent many, many hours looking at classical illustration....) They are quite different in style, but the tone is similar to me, perhaps me alone.
