The drawing is mounted in Volume II-TER of the John Ryland's copy of "La Sainte Bible : Ancien Testament . . . / Compositions par J.-James Tissot"; with preface by A. D. Sertillanges, introduction by M. de Brunoff and the French version of L. J. Lemaistre de Saci. (Sertillanges, Antonin Gilbert 1863-1948; Le Maistre de Sacy, Isaac-Louis, 1613-1684) 2 vols. : illus., plates : 4to. 40 plates, 360 illustrations to text, by James Tissot. Paris: M. de Brunoff & Cie, 1904.
The edition contains 360 mounted colour, b/w, and duo-tone illustrations in the text and 40 plates in three states, sepia-tone, partly hand-coloured, and finished coloured state. The plates are protected with captioned tissue-guards. The paper size is 15 3/4 x 13 ins; image size varies (c 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 ins).
Of the 561 copies printed, the John Rylands Library (Manchester) copy is an "exemplaire unique". As well as the triple set of the large plates in various states, and a series of proofs before letters of the illustrations appearing in the text, it contains a water colour drawing by Tissot ("Joseph presents his father Jacob to Pharaoh"), these original pen and ink sketches for this work, and an autograph letter by him. (John Rylands Library Special Collections R16279)
The paintings for the Illustrations were based on the sketches and completed after Tissot's death in 1902 by Henri Bellery-Desfontaines, Auguste François Gorguet, Charles Hoffbauer, Louis van Parys, Michel Simonidy and Georges Bertin Scott.

Thanks to the tech who let me take this.
(that's not me, by the way ^_^ )
So, I've been up to no good, as usual, though VERY absent from the internet at large (even FB only sees sporadic shares and very few personal anything from me).
Part of it my general lack of free time, and part is my thoughts on privacy and choosing to share with the world at large and how it might affect those in my care (my kids) now and in the future.
But I want to come back to Flickr, and try again, and see if I can figure out this whole balance thing.
So we'll see.

Saimaiyu Akesuk is the granddaughter of the famous Cape Dorset sculptor Latcholassie Akesuk (1919-2000). The first drawing she sold to the Cape Dorset print studio – with the encouragement of her friend Ningiukulu Teevee, one of the leading lights in Cape Dorset graphic art – was inspired by one of her grandfather’s whimsical birds, and his spirit seems to continue to live through her art. Saimaiyu’s vivid animal drawings also recall the work of the Cape Dorset elder graphic artists Sheojuk Etidlooie (1929-1999) and Papiara Tukiki (born 1942), but Saimaiyu has definitely found her own personal style.
In her joyful drawings, Saimaiyu seems to have resisted adopting not only a realistic style, but even a sense of deliberate design. Her works have a childlike sense of whimsy and fun, and lack even a hint of the irony or angst that is present in the work of many of her peers. An elementary school teacher in Cape Dorset, Saimaiyu has seemingly taken inspiration from her students (and her elders) rather than from her artist colleagues, many of them stars of the contemporary Canadian art scene.
Composition (Purple Bear) positively bursts with energy; the animal seems ready to break free from the borders of the black paper at any moment. The radiating lines of exuberant colour are like an explosion of fireworks – and interestingly but perhaps coincidentally are reminiscent of Kenojuak Ashevak’s iconic 1960 print The Enchanted Owl. In fact, there is a definite “early 1960s” sensibility about the work; despite the obvious modernity of its colour palette and pattern, the shape of the bear is refreshingly unaffected, even naive.
Cheryl became enamored with a "junque" journal video she saw and created a group for it. :o) Since I can't say no to Cheryl to save my life, here is my attempt. I haven't actually added anything to it yet because I have other projects with deadlines. LOL
For this photo I used the rocks as both leading lines and a frame for the subject which is the frame. I also put it on the rock that I did because it was in the best spot to implement rule of thirds into my photo. I chose to take this photo because I felt that the orange color of the pumpkin stood out well on the grey rock. I submitted this photo because I like the simplicity of it and the aspects of nature used for composition techniques.
