If you're going to #Glasgow2024, please look for the Dartmoor Mythic Arts exhibition featuring prints by Brian Froud, Wendy Froud, Alan Lee, Virginia Lee, Marja Lee Kruyt, David Wyatt, Rima Staines, Danielle Barlow, CS Saunders & me. Virginia Lee's painting here is one of 100+ images in the show.
That's a fantastic painting. I love the 3 hares motif so much, I did my own t-shirt art for it several years ago.
Amaaaaaaazing!
The show demonstrates the many different ways mythic artists have been inspired by the moorland landscape and its stories. Also, one of the themes of #Glasgow2024 is "community" - so I wanted to find a way to bring my Dartmoor community along with me, and this is it. Come find us.
That is glorious
Virginia's art makes my heart soar.
As a furriner absent from England for Lo! These many years!, my mental association with Dartmoor is as a bleak backdrop for His Majesty's Prison. But all the pictures of Dartmoor I actually see are the lovely ones you post with soft hills and warm sunlight, & the mythic illustrations. It's funny!
That is an epic list of artists. Wow.
