About This Item
The watercolor images of the creatures inhabiting the Arctic in winter are set forth against the ink-black arctic night that lasts the season featuring that incredible blue glow that comes with polar winters.
The artist, Alan James Robinson, tells me that he considers this some of his best work. Certainly the watercolors exhibit a level of artistry not usually seen in commercially published children's books. The animals are portrayed with accuracy. Species hunting one another are depicted without sentimentality. The finished compositions have lost no artistic integrity to realism. There is, rather, a heightened realism surrounding the animals in their natural, beautiful but stark habitat. The large size of each image allows the viewer to easily enter this visually intriguing twilight/night world.
This is the complete archive from the artist for the only children's book he has created.
