Just a quick post to share this beautiful picture book I found on the self today.
I have used a large image of the cover, because it's the cover that made me pick up the book in the first place. This image probably doesn't do it justice, but I just wanted to touch the cover of this book.The illustrations in this book are done with oil paint, and it's rare to see illustrations like this in a picture book, but together with the poetic text you suddenly have a beautiful book that feels very special.
I was so taken with the illustrations that I did a bit of research (Googling) to find out about the illustrator. See the link below for an interesting interview I found where he talks about his different styles...
