I coulnt agree more. She was a phenomenon. Her spiders and fungus illustrations and beyond compare. So glad you share the love, and that you love botanical illustrations and my films. Thankyou for the comment!

What’s incredible about Beatrix’s work is that she did not have the internet for countless images to study, and what seems like simple sketches in watercolor turn out to be mastery of such a delicate style! Of course, I love watching you on Utube Lizzie, as I’m mad about botanical illustrations!!

From across the Atlantic such shows are website views only. I will add V&A to my favorite sites. Yours are at the top of the list. How I enjoy your energy. At 84 the body cannot keep up with ideas.
Thank you.

Hi Christine

Lucky grandson! I grew up with a Peter rabbit plate and bowl, and still cherish them now, 50 years on! I agree entirely about all that she’s done for Cumbria. Quite visionary, for that time. Thanks you x

Dear Peter, I know. Isn’t it wonderful when your heroes turn out to be even better than you knew? Agree with you entirely.

We need to be reminded of the beautiful work she did and the wonderful legacy she has left for us all to enjoy in Cumbria.
My grandson will be getting a Beatrice Potter gift for his Christening in two weeks. She will live on through generations to come.

Your Butterfly is as beautiful too. I love your paintings.

A great human being by all accounts.

Regards Peter
