A Woman's Work

Beatrix Potter

Dear followers, I apologize once again for the recent lack of posts,

but this semester I taught one more course that usual, and soon realized

that I had to give up some of my leisurely activities, including blogging, 

to be able to stay on track keep focused. My lessons ended yesterday, 

and I am really looking forward to almost a full month of vacation.

Of course, now there's plenty to do around the house...

For my second post dedicated to the Italian artist Duilio Cambellotti, I wanted to focus on his draughtsman's skill

and the beauty of his expressive line work, as shown in his illustrations, sketches, woodcuts, prints and ceramics.

In the near future I am planning to share some of his beautiful illustrations for the Arabian Nights 

and other striking colorful artworks.
