FLICKR SET: THE ORCHARD BOOK OF BIBLE STORIES
~illustrated by Jane Ray.
There's something that feels very honest and good about these images. Though not as dynamic as some books I've encountered, they tell the story in a gentle, earthy, trustworthy way.
Though 'studying' every well-illustrated childrens' book is immensely fun and useful, I'm attempting to refine it to include as many cultural and educational picture books as possible. While I have completed the illustrations to the Hindu tale of Matsya (and am currently finding the best way of printing these into a book), I have been spurrend in a direction of research, incorporating Hinduism into the text-image combination of picture books. In image-making, I am learning the form and colour of the flora and fauna of India. I have been picking picture books containting a lot of natural imagery. I'm finding this an enjoyable way of understanding a diverse range of illustrators' styles.
