I do wonder why … all the time. Which is probably why I picked up the children’s book of the same title this past weekend. I paid a little bit more than I usually do for vintage children’s books, about $10, but I think it was a good investment. The illustrations are lovely and quirky with cherub faced children that on occasion look quite devilish. The illustrator is M.T. “Penny” Ross. His bio can be found here: http://www.spencer-n-ross.com/artist.html

This weekend, I chanced upon a beautiful little book called How Sing Found the World is Round by Sydney Reid. It was published by Volland in the early part of the twentieth century. You can read more about Volland here: http://www.loganberrybooks.com/juvcat-volland.html
The illustrator is Katherine Sturges Dodge, the mother of Hilary Knight who is the illustrator of the very popular Eloise series. The book can be viewed online through the Children’s Books Online website: http://www.childrensbooksonline.org/How_Sing/index.htm
So far, I haven’t been able to find much of a biography for Katherine Sturges Dodge. If anyone out there knows of any resources, please let me know. I’d love to learn more about her.

One big accomplishment this past weekend was to frame a print for the upcoming Nave Gallery silent auction benefit. I decided to choose an image that might have universal appeal given my coastal location. This image originally appeared in Verdad Magazine, along with two other “rocky” pictures.
