"Look at it this way"

I'm about to take my annual break from blogging for a few days... Thanks for reading Look at Landscapes this year. Less than 40 new posts this year, but will continue to look for interesting landscape-related stories in the new year.

Plenty more blogging on landscapes and teaching to come in 2014. For now here's an image by one of my favourite landscape illustrators Ronald Lampitt.

From ANIMATION BACKGROUNDS blog. While you're watching the Christmas TV, or staring at your Christmas cards - how are the landscapes depicted ? What is a 'typical'' Christmas landscape ? What are its elements ? How realistic is it as a landscape ? Click the image above for a larger version, from the classic Tom Jerry "The Night Before Christmas" from the Quimby era (the only real T&J !)
