The Wodehouse quote sent me to the library catalogue to add Jeeves and the Yuletide Spirit to my Christmas and New Year reading. Choosing a favourite painting is difficult but spending time doing so will be a joy. Thank you.
Absolutely love this wonderful collection of art and seasonal quotes which perfectly capture Christmas. The spindly trees particularly resonate with me as I instantly remember the little spindly silver one we had when I was a child, its thin branches almost bare of tinsel. I am also drawn to the painting of the YMCA canteen and its great social context. Thank you for all of this!
Another wonderful collection Victoria and so good to re-visit Duncan Grant. I’m currently reading the memoirs of David Garnett. I find the Bloomsbury group endlessly fascinating and very much enjoy your posts. Thank you so much for all you do to share information and inspiration on these interesting people and the culture of their time. Have a great Christmas.
Thank you so much Jane. I’ve loved this period in history for as long as I can remember, and really enjoy celebrating it here. Have a wonderful Christmas also 🎄♥️✨
This was so delightful. Like many I loved all the little potted trees. But the Christmas Roses piece really pleased me. I loved all the subtle gradations of color. I would be interested in hearing how you curate your collections.
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it, Jodi. I’ve been collecting images from different sources, and from the Bloomsbury period, for a few years now. Though I’ve been in love with that time since I was a child. I have the images saved under the name of the artist but I also have some sub folders as well… Christmas and interiors, for example. 🎄✨
Thank you for this enchanting collection, Victoria! It is putting me in the mood for Christmas joys, even as I am presently consumed by final grading at the end of the semester. Have a delightful Christmas 🎄 season!
Such a bounty of evocative art by artists mostly new to me. I particularly like the sullen little girl who doesn’t seem to think much of her pile of gifts.
I love all your collections, but this one filled me with extra joy! Thank you!
You’re very welcome! Thank you Dominika 🎄♥️
So fascinated by the little, mostly crooked trees on tables. Sweet simplicity.
I just adore Christmas tree paintings. Thank you Cindy 🎄💚
I love these! Particularly The Day After Christmas :)
Thank you, Louise 🎄💚
I don't know how you do it, but this is just another example of the wide and wonderful variety of brilliance. It's so simple and uplifting.
Thank you Jon 🎄✨

You’re very welcome, Hilary. And enjoy your Christmas with Wodehouse 🎄♥️
Dig the Dorothy Larcher.
Thank you Nicolas 🎄✨
It’s as close as we can get to time travel!
Thank you Sophy 🎄♥️

You’re very welcome, Margi. I too love the paintings of the trees. I’m looking forward to finally decorating ours this week 🎄♥️
A fabulous stocking full of festive art!
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it 🎄💛✨

Thank you for curating and sharing this collection! I feel that I could just tumble in to some of the paintings. Merry Christmas 🎄!
