GUSTAVE DORE. I love the whimsy of this one! I sure hope Mr. Frog can hold on tight before landing!

GUSTAVE DORE. An illustrated scene from "Little Red Riding Hood." You can tell she is not really sure about sleeping in the same bed as "grandma."

GUSTAVE DORE. This is a very sad scene...the child apparently has a head injury. We do not know if the man and woman are the parents, but their expressions give you the feeling that they are very worried.

GUSTAVE DORE. This man looks very chill and sure of himself. I love his hookah and his green turban!

GUSTAVE DORE. Mary Magdalene at the tomb of Jesus. She is one of my favorite characters in the Bible. Mainly because she was totally misrepresented and was far more important than history has taught.

GUSTAVE DORE. Illustration of Jesus being baptized. I'm sure it was used in the illustrated Bible he was asked to create. The detailing is stunning.

Entitled, "Scottish Highlands." I love the joy in the old woman's face as she taps the tambourine. The pup is pretty cute too!

Notice that what appears to be the light emanating from the sun is in fact angels. Dore was asked to illustrate a new Bible in 1866.

Blake also illustrated books. This is from the story of Job. It is probably my second favorite of the week.

This reveals man as victorious - certainly he was referring to Jesus here - but again, it could be humanity as the victor. Surrounded by angels and light; renewed in strength and courage.

Another lovely poem - Ah! Sun-Flower.

The theme is one of bondage, pain and suffering. It could be a character from the Bible, but perhaps common man and his existence in creation. Who among us has never felt entrapment or bondage to something or someone?

They missed their calling as fundamentalist preachers.

My wife shared this with me and I’m tellin you… it’s worth the read.

You can feel the solemnness, the sadness. But there is hope in the midst...angels watching over them.

This piece is very symbolic in feel, but the characteristics of Romanticism still present. What do you think the message is here? I believe the man with the protractor is Blake himself. H

WILLIAM BLAKE. Daniel in the lion's den? The colors caught my attention first and then the angel.

WILLIAM BLAKE. Poet, painter, engraver, social reformer. He was considered a rebel during his lifetime for standing up for the rights of mistreated children, and sharing the visions he felt came from God through his paintings and poetry.

We cannot spend time with Blake without sharing some of his poetry. One of his most famous writings is "The Tyger." It is meant to convey the grandeur and magnificence of creation.

This is "Family Meeting in Heaven." A soft palette and very romantic lines. I love to believe I will see my family members again. What about you?
