George Tooker


I am going to go ahead and post this today, since it's perfect for
Valentine's Day. I love George Tooker's work. He sometimes uses
colored pencil for that nice soft magical effect. Chris Van Allsburg's
illustrations are a little similar. Lunch is one of my favorite Tooker
works....it is in the Columbus Museum of Art. I could look at it for hours!

  1. Lady of Willow Manor,
    Again you have exposed me to artists that I've never heard of. I'll have to go into google and explore. Have you done any oils or water colors? I would love to, but life is too, too busy.
    Thanks again for sharing,
    Derrick of upper state New York
