I love that on my computer screen, your print could be an interpretation of a weather pattern, or a seductive curl of hair -- either could be a stimulus that would provoke a certain kind of response!

Congrats on the show! What a way to start your so-called "retirement"!

May all the leprechauns, fairies, pixies, elfs and gnomes of Art wash clear the eyes of the jury so that they can see that Bill's pieces are so clearly superior to the others submitted that those are not actually competition, but instead mere clutter.

I've been here! maggie and i decided it looked like something that inspired tim burton.

my favorite part was the pulpit. it was so intricately carved with scenes of the bible. so amazing! i spent most of my time walking circles around it and staring at it.

Yes, the image is by Arthur Wesley Dow. He seems to have started the whole arts and crafts Japanese influenced woodcut print thing. You can see some of my prints at my Flickr page here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wdb3b/sets/72157602218442515/

So is the image with the post one by Dow? It's wonderful. Can't wait to see your take on prints of place!

So true. Here's Wiktionary's definition of twee (I first heard it in the late 80's from the Scottish interns I hosted while at Independence):

Etymology: The Oxford English Dictionary records the first use in 1905 in Punch.

Adjective

twee (comparative more twee, superlative most twee)

Positive
twee

Comparative
more twee

Superlative
most twee

1. Overly quaint, dainty, cute or nice.

Those Beatrix Potter animals are a little twee for my taste.

2001: Forget the clichéd image of Brigadoon and shortbread tins, the dreadfully twee tartan tat and Celtic kitsch that, sadly, still exists in the 21st century, and is too often passed off as a genuine Highland experience. — Alan Murphy, Scotland Highlands & Islands Handbook: The Travel Guide ISBN 1900949946, p. 11

2002: As always with Disney, there are moments when it all seems a bit twee, others when it is excessively PC. — Peter Ellison, Folens Models for Writing: Essential Non-fiction ISBN 1843032317, p. 40

2005: I just wouldn’t have felt comfortable saying, "I am a duckbilled platypus, and this is how I find my shrimps." I think it would have been twee. — Richard Dawkins, Darwin's Rottweiler (interview) Discover magazine 2005-09-08
