Description
I recently looked at the film "Miss Potter" (2006), about the English author, illustrator and scientist Beatrix Potter (1866 - 1943).
What a woman she was!!! By the way brilliantly played by Renee Zellweger, probably better known as "Bridget Jones".
Apart from her wonderful illustrations, I am especially in awe about the work she did to preserve the unique hill landscapes of the Lake District.
Well, I have never read one of her stories, so, it's clear now what is on top of my gift lists (by myself or anybody else): I want the complete tales, illustrated of course!
After the film, I fancied painting again, and made this little portrait of her, with a rabbit, the animal of her first story...(Portrait based on a photo I found on the net)
