A Garden for All Seasons Wall Calendar: Gardens invite contemplation, play, reverie, somnolence, and gentle investigation. In her lyrical oil paintings, based on sketches drawn in Melbourne?s Royal Botanic Gardens, Anne Marie Graham (b. 1925) gives us the joy of spring, the spiny beauty of the desert, and the music of bamboo columns flexing against one another. During her childhood in Vienna, Graham studied with Franz Cizek, who was among the first educators to appreciate children?s art. The same innocence her mentor prized is still visible in the colorful works Graham is creating seventy years after her emigration to Australia. - Category: Books Reading - Misc. - 3236 - Item: 460978385 - A Garden for All Seasons 2009 Wall Calendar

A Gathering of Flowers 2009 Wall Calendar

A Gathering of Flowers Wall Calendar: Books were still luxury items at the turn of the seventeenth century, when affluent Europeans? interest in botany engendered the florilegium (gathering of flowers). In these books, beauty trumped science&151florilegia typically had little or no text accompanying their sumptuously colored illustrations of flowers, plants, bugs, and beasts. This calendar?s images are from a 1608 florilegium once owned by a French nobleman and now in the renowned collection of The Cleveland Museum of Art. It depicts flowers, fruits, and garden fauna, delicately rendered in watercolor, ink, silver, and gold. - Category: Books Reading - Misc. - 3236 Item: 460978386 - A Gathering of Flowers 2009 Wall Calendar

A New World 2009 Wall Calendar

The twenty-two White watercolors reproduced in this calendar convey his struggle to see clearly in a land where all seemed strange and new. - Category: Books Reading - Misc. - 2737 Item: 460978387 - A New World 2009 Wall Calendar
