Ida Rentoul Outhwaite I've noticed a few searches recently on my blog stats for the Australian illustrator Ida Rentoul Outhwaite (1888 - 1960). In a previous post I included two of her illustrations (I've repeated them again here) and as her work is so beautiful I decided to devote today's entry entirely to her. Ida's Irish born father was a Presbyterian minister and academic. By the time Ida was born (she was the youngest of four children) he was a professor at Ormond College (University of Melbourne). Ida was educated at the Presbyterian Ladies College in Melbourne. Her maiden name was Rentoul but when she married Arthur Outhwaite in 1909 she became known as Ida Renoul Outhwaite and began signing her work as such. Ida's first illustration (accompanying a story written by her sister Anne) was published when she was just 15 years old. Her children (Robert, Anne, Wendy and William) were the models for many of her illustrations which mostly depict fairies. The Autumn fairy turns the leaves to gold and scatters them around . . . . My garden in its Autumn Glory I've often thought that these fairies would make lovely paper dolls. I'm sure it will just be a matter of time before I can resist the temptation no longer and make a doll based on her painings. The illustrations included in this post come from five different books illustrated by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite: Elves and Fairies Fairyland The Enchanted Forest Lady of the Blue Beards The Other Side of Nowhere I have held back three illustrations that I thought would be perfect for Halloween. I thought I only had one witchy picture - but it turns out I have two and one with a fairy riding on a bat that I think is wonderful (and delightfully unusual). If you come back and visit me at Halloween I'll be including them then. As a child I always thought of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite as being an English artist. When I looked at these illustrations now I realised that many of them feature koala bears. That should have given me a clue as to where she really came from! Some of her black and while illustrations are just as beautiful as those in colour and in my opinion can often be more striking. The one below is my favourite. The miniature Japanese Maple on our patio has turned the most gorgeous shade of cerise. It won't last long and soon the leaves will fall but I'm going to make the most of enjoying it while it looks so glorious. The swan family in St Stephen's Green I featured a couple of weeks ago (Swans in the Green) are still together and just as devoted and close-knit as before. The mornings are becoming so dark now I doubt whether I'll be able to walk through the park on my way to work for much longer (I think the gates are opened later in winter). I don't remember the swans remaining as a family unit for such a long time in past years and have really enjoyed my visits to their lovely world each working day. I added the Tinkerbell effect to my Blog after seeing it on Diane's at Crave Cute. She told me how to do it after I left a comment on this post. I had so much fun playing with the fairy dust that I decided to do something with the cursor as well. I found a very easy site to work with is Cursors 4U. I stayed away from the animated sets because they apparently only work on Explorer and I use Google Chrome. What I really wanted was a proper fairy wand with a star on the end - I must say I was quite surprised not to find one! So in the end I chose a butterfly, rose and Harry Potter wand and I'm alternating between those three!
For thousands of years, the sudden appearance of a ring of mushrooms was a sure sign of otherworldly presences. These rings would seemingly appear overnight, or travel from one location to another, with no clear rhyme or reason. Warnings of the dark forces that must create these abnormalities were passed down between generations, and the folklore of fairy rings was established.

BLANK INSIDE This enchanting moon fairy, delicately scattering stars from her perch upon the full moon, bears the endearing name Lady Starlight, as christened by her creator, Amelia Jane Murray, in 1899. Amid an era teeming with myriad fairy depictions, Murray's fairies shine distinctly, characterized by their uniqueness and delicate style. See this image on as an art print! Amelia Jane Murry (1800-1896) was a Victorian artist celebrated for her enchanting fairy illustrations, crafted with delicate watercolors and inspired by the Manx Gaelic fairy folklore of her native Isle of Man. Born into an illustrious family as the daughter of Lord Henry Murray and the niece of John Murray, the 4th Duke of Atholl, Murry's artistic journey began in the early 1820s. Her fairy artworks intricately wove Manx folklore into lush depictions of flora and fauna, seamlessly integrating delicate fairies with the natural landscape. In 1829, she married Sir John Oswald of Dunniker, adopting the title of Lady Oswald. The couple relocated to Fife, Scotland, and raised a blended family of eight children. However, with the passing of Sir John Oswald in 1840, Murry ceased her artistic pursuits. She continued her remarkable life until her demise in 1896. In 1985, her exquisite fairy paintings found their way into the public eye through the publication of A Regency Lady’s Fairy Bower, ensuring her legacy endures.

Date Published: Printed between 1928 and 1940 by Blackie & Son Ltd in Great Britain Print size: 4 inches x 5 1/2 inches Image size: 3 inches x 4 1/4 inches The lithograph has a characteristic patina which is natural for vintage paper, but is in great condition - this is an ORIGINAL Book Plate, NOT A COPY OR REPRODUCTION! ******** ** MULTIPLE ITEM SHIPPING DISCOUNT: I WILL COMBINE ANY NUMBER OF PRINTS IN ONE PACKAGE AND CHARGE ONLY ONE SHIPPING FEE! *** ALL PRINTS ARE PACKED IN AN ACETATE-FREE BAG AND DISPATCHED IN A STURDY HARD BACKED "DO NOT BEND" ENVELOPE. ******** Cicely Mary Barker was born in 1895 in Croydon, South London, and spent most of her life there. Because of ill-health she was educated at home and largely taught herself to draw and paint, encouraged by a supportive family and assisted by membership of the Croydon Art Society. She was only sixteen when she had her first work acepted for publication as a set of postcards, and from that time she devoted her career to painting. It was her Flower Fairies that brought Cicely Mary Barker her greatest popular acclaim. Like the pre-Raphaelite painters whom she so much admired, she believed in recreating the beauty of nature in art and in drawing from real life. Her plants and flowers were observed with complete botanical accuracy and in the fairies themselves, she captured perfectly the unselfconscious grace of children, whom she used to sketch in her sister's school. Cicely once wrote: "So let me say quite plainly, that I have drawn all the plants and flowers very carefully, from real ones; and everything that I have said about them is as true as I could make it. But I have never seen a fairy; the fairies and all about them are just 'pretend'." This unique blend of accuracy and fantasy had by then established a popularity for the Flower Fairies books which endures to this day, both for our children and for many of us grown-ups too! ********

Though she had no formal training in art, her family soon recognised her natural imaginative talent and encouraged her at home. In 1903, when only 15, Ida had several fairy drawings published in The New Idea and had designed and illustrated a number of Christmas cards. Her first book illustrations were for Mollie’s Bunyip, which was published when was the grand old age of 16! These were quickly followed by illustrations for many books, most written by her sister Annie, and her husband, Grenbry Outhwaite.
