It's always amazing to me how artistic talent makes itself known. You can't look at this artwork and not be intrigued.<br /><br />Loved some of the other work as well.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-34203512425206242072011-07-23T22:34:48.107-04:002011-07-23T22:34:48.107-04:00I first heard of Bill Traylor through you.

There are several of them. Go on a historical binge!<br /><br />As for casting, I agree with your choices. I thought of Rachel myself.<br /><br />There are very few actresses today who can embody what Deborah Kerr or Greer Garson or women of that strong 'type' did, once upon a time.<br /><br />Maybe Meryl Streep, but she can't play everyone and she is now too old for Adelia. Too bad.<br /><br />I can't imagine though, why the books haven't been bought for film. Far as I know they haven't.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-89660666603379685092011-07-05T02:24:15.651-04:002011-07-05T02:24:15.651-04:00I came back and looked at this post and just love ...I came back and looked at this post and just love this art, the colors, creativity and more.<br /><br />If I can figure out how to do this, I'll send a link to an artist friend, or I'll do the easy thing and send her the website link.<br /><br />I must add this although it's off-topic. I never thought I'd like historical fiction, however, I spent much of the last two days avidly reading about Adelia Aguilar. I reluctantly turned the last page -- luckily there are three more books.<br /><br />I just love this character and what she thinks.<br /><br />So I'm entering what some readers call a post-good-book slump. Switching over to Archie and the gang so quickly is like the bends, too swift a change so can't do that.<br /><br />But it got me to thinking of a blog idea for you: Casting who could play Adelia.<br /><br />I thought of Rachel Weisz as she's so elegant and stunning. However, Adelia was blond. Does that matter? I couldn't think of anyone else.<br /><br />I thought of a young Deborah Kerr, or my teen-age favorite -- Greer Garson in her 30s.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-32012945207535439052011-07-04T11:02:28.980-04:002011-07-04T11:02:28.980-04:00Becky: You're more than welcome.

It's probably in a museum. I'd have to double-check.<br /><br />Lots of these artists were itinerant moving from place to place and exchanging art for food or a night's lodging. And some were women - primarily the cut paper artists. Mostly the work went unsigned.<br /><br />Yeah, that gate.

I believe he died in the 40's sometime. Yes, his work looks like a bit like picture writing. He did some very good and interesting work. Lots of these artists just made art because they had to although they were mostly untaught and even, unschooled.
