Have you discovered this late genius, a dutch artist who takes us to another world where rustic quaint meets Hansel & Gretel ?  Search on his work and relish the feast he captured of dutch scenes that were literal canvas snapshots through his eyes, circa early 19th century.  He is renowned for his oils, water colors, etchings and engravings created during his 92 years, ending only in 1987! 

By far, his style is immotalized in the theme park outside of Amsterdam called d’Efteling, still frequented today.  (Walt Disney was one of his admirers) 

Exhibitions of Anton Pieck’s work are  still assembled today and originals can still be purchased at various auctions.  I found several of the hard bound volumes of his work on eBay and love leafing through them.  Several years ago his prints were used by crafters to create framed 3D pictures.  Noel & Pat Thomas credit him as their muse for their lovely miniature olde toy shoppe called East of the Moon.

My fascination with this gifted & imaginative genius is in creating doll houses of his style and a small village that can withstand the elements in a yard!  Once photos are available, I will post them!
