c Laura Goetz 2012, Mary Mary Quite Contrary Mary Mary Quite Contrary, is a Mother Goose Rhyme that has been passed down through oral tradition and published over centuries.  The origins are steeped in history.  One theory is the rhyme refers to Mary Tudor, nicknamed Bloody Mary, who was the daughter of King Henry VIII. I learned the words as a child, (the Mother Goose Club Version) unaware of the history or meaning. Although the history is interesting, I chose to illustrate the rhyme on a more cheerful note. My garden was the inspiration for this illustration.  In this painting, my daughter is portrayed as Mary, and if you look closely you can see her rabbit Daisy.  This illustration was painted with Winsor Newton watercolors on Arches paper.

© A.E.Anderson ". . .Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. . . ." The  theme of Mother Goose was such a fun, fanciful subject matter. At first I felt this was going to be a challenge. But after I built the 3D model of Humpty, I was propelled by the images I saw in my mind. And everything else just fell into place. Now I am inspired to expand and do more illustrations based on the various tales of Mother Goose.  To  see more of my art, go to my blog: A.E.Anderson - Children's Book s. 

Cows, Pigs, and Mice--Oh My! This was such a fun project to work on! I think the subject matter is pretty obvious for each piece, but I will list them anyway:  The cow jumps over the moon, This little Piggie, and Hickory Dickory Dock, respectively.

My illustration for this month's theme Mother Goose Rhymes: I chose THE CROOKED SIXPENCE Mother Goose Illustration: The Crooked Sixpence © Madonna Davidoff 2012 THE CROOKED SIXPENCE There was a crooked man, and he went a crooked mile, He found a crooked sixpence beside a crooked stile; He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, And they all lived together in a little crooked house.

I chose these three Mother Goose Rhymes to illustrate, because they are about Robins, one of my favorite birds. These illustrations are watercolors on 300lbs Arches watercolor paper. They are all 24"x 30"framed Title: Kindness: Illustration for the Mother Goose Rhyme: The little robin grieves When the snow is on the ground,For the trees have no leaves, And no berries can be found. The air is cold, the worms are hid; For robin here what can be done? Let's strow around some crumbs of bread, And then he'll live till snow is gone.  Mother Goose Illustration: Kindness © SaraKahn 2012 Title: Rhythm: Illustration for Mother Goose Rhyme: Little Robin Red-breast Sat upon a rail, Needle, naddle, went his head, Wiggle, waggle, went his tail.
