I have just discovered a wonderful artist!

Her name is Amanda Clark and she does the most beautiful illustrations of folklore, myth and fairytales.

I found her quite by accident! I was surfing the net "as you do" looking for a hardback version of one of my many favourite books - "The Wood Wife" by Teri Wilding. I have had this book for years and keep re-reading and was looking for a hardback version online.

These illustrations just popped up along the way! This artist hasn't illustrated for this book but the artwork itself is just eerily perfect for the characters and storyline!

I think her paintings are just so magical and enchanting!!! Added a few so you can see how lovely they are!

I Can't afford any original paintings but will have to order some prints!

I too found these pictures online a few months ago - I was looking for pictures of hares. They are enchanting aren't they?

  I have lined up 6 of her images and collated into a mount frame without putting them into the "actual glass frame". Placed against a window and when the light shines through, they are just breathtaking. The imagery just makes me feel calm and happy. :D

Beautiful! As you said, magical, enchanting, dreamlike--they remind me of tapestries from the late Middle Ages. Thank you for posting them.

  Pleasant places in which to dream! I never thought of them as tapestries but I love that idea! Delighted that you have viewed them that way!
