As the sun dips towards the horizon, its golden rays bathe the quaint Cromarty Harbour in a warm, ethereal glow. This exquisite print captures the tranquil ambience of a picturesque Scottish harbour at the most magical time of day. The unique Art Nouveau style brings a timeless elegance to the scene, with graceful, flowing lines and stylised natural forms. In this harmonious composition, the historic facades are alight with rich amber hues that reflect impeccably onto the serene waters below. The graded sky, a blend of soft dusky blues and purples, provides a soothing backdrop to the radiant architecture, enhancing the striking contrast between the illuminated buildings and the calming twilight. A beautifully crafted boat—its sails neatly furled—rests gently on the water, evoking a sense of peaceful repose. Its reflection dances on the glassy surface, punctuated by a symphony of light that mirrors the sun's descent. The detailing of the boat, from the texture of its wooden hull to the elegant curves of its structure, exemplifies the print's nod to the intricate aesthetics of the Art Nouveau period. This print stands as a captivating ode to Scotland's coastal charm, where history and nature convene in a splendid display of colour and light. The 'Scottish Harbours' collection is proudly enriched by this piece, as it evokes the serene beauty and the cultural essence of these northern shores, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in its enchanting ambience.
One of the great Japanese woodblock artists, Hiroshi Yoshida (1876-1950) was especially noted for his exquisitely detailed, evocative prints of landscapes around the world. His work is beautiful, subtle and often atmospheric, displaying a real mastery of his technique, which allowed him to capture the subtleties of light and form. Yoshida often reused the same woodblocks, varying the colours and saturation to suggest alternate moods of the same scene – a different time of day, or even different weather conditions. Initially trained as a painter (of some renown), Yoshida began working with woodblocks in the early 1920s, and after a meeting with the owner of the Watanabe Print Store in Tokyo he had his first series of prints published. The woodblock technique is notoriously time-consuming and difficult, but Yoshida seemed able to capture the most delicate graduations of colour and the tiniest details in a temple façade or mountain face. Yoshida was a keen traveller and visited numerous countries from the early 1900s onwards - his cosmopolitan attitude is reflected in the landscapes and studies he created in countries like India and America. The traditional Japanese techniques in his work applied to a changing foreign world at the beginning of the 20th Century make for some fascinating, unexpected images, which sit comfortably alongside his more elegiac landscapes. Whilst the world has changed almost immeasurably in the 50 or so years since Yoshida died, when viewed today, well-kept examples of his woodblocks still have a real vibrancy and warmth to them. Yoshida died in 1950 but his two sons Toshi and Hodaka both became respected woodblock artists in their own right, carrying on the family tradtion. In fact, since the mid-1800s the same Yoshida family - Hiroshi's forebears - has produced eight artists of serious renown – a veritable woodblock dynasty.

Who was the menacing and malevolent stranger who climbed into Tom Cox’s Hackney Carriage on All Hallows Eve 1684 who not only terrified him out of his wits, but changed his life forever?
Throughout history, the woods have served as a place for many fairy tale stories and legends. When the characters of Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods ventured into a dark wood, they went to fulfill their dreams and fantasies. What they were faced with instead was a place where nothing is what it seems and the truths of their realities. 25 artists were invited to explore just what is it about woods that are so compelling in Haven Gallery's upcoming exhibition, "Into the Woods": Adam Oehlers, Robert Kraiza, Mahlimae, Lara Dann, Marc Scheff, Anka Lavriv, Hannah Yata, Jean-Pierre Arboleda, Mab Graves, Brin Levinson, Gustavo Rimada, Poppy Lawman, Thomas Dodd, Chris Mars, Shane Pierce, William Basso, Nicole Palapoli, Rain, Paul Romano, Scott Radke, Christina Ridgeway, Joseph Weinreb, Brian Mashburn, Allen WIlliams and Vince Natale.
I am sitting down to a small after dinner decaf coffee in the bunny mug my daughter gave me for Christmas. It's on the small size and I love the pictures on it. I saw many of these types of bunnies on prints and cups and other items when we visited England two years ago and was so tempted to buy something at the time. I adore anything with a rabbit on it. What's even better is if the rabbit is wearing a little coat, or holding an umbrella, or having a moment with a mouse who is also wearing clothes. Anthropomorphism is the applying of human qualities to things that aren't human, such as sweet little woodland creatures. When I see illustrations that show darling, furry animals in their cozy little homes drinking tea and reading the paper, I feel warm and happy. * (from Celebrate Each new Day, illustrator unknown) (illustrator unknown) (Chris Dunn illustration) (Jill Barklem illustrator) These all make me smile.
