Welcome to my art history blog. The format is simple and the purpose is to show you a piece of art, give you a little background, and leave the rest up to you. I make my own line of jewelry that can be found at www.youngestdaughter.com. Now I have added a vintage cookbook blog because I like the pictures more than anything else.

Looks a little like Captain Jack Sparrow!
This is a wonderful, beautiful painting.
I know very little about Howard Pyle. He is a lot like my beloved N.C. Wyeth.
In fact, thanks to your entry, I'm going to buy "Howard Pyle: A Record of His Illustrations and Writings"
Thank you very much for your reminding me of something I don't have, but should
Shalom Martha,
I'm a sucker for all things Pirate.
The Clevenet system has five copies and one is even now making its way to my apartment. Thank you.
B'shalom,
Jeff
