They do seem to give a bow to the fey sensibilities of a bygone Britain...parhaps as it might be imagined today. I loved it, though it might not be as magical or Beatrix Potter-like in person. Delightful to see, none the less.... And may I just say thank you so much for a year of beautiful and inspiring posts! As I tell each friend I send the PB blog to, this is one thing I am really happy to see in my mailbox. Beautiful work, Carol, and such exquisite paintings too!
