K.A.C. 2020 - T - 6 ...

        

Heinrich Kley, Der Fund im Winterwalde
     Our painting today is called 'Discovery In Wintry Forest', by Heinrich Kley. He was a popular German illustrator, who was compared to Walt Disney at one time and is all but forgotten now. He had a very playful style drawing all sorts of monsters and mythological creatures. To see more of his work, click here:

Ever wonder what HAPPENED to those cute kids in all those films, such as Taylor Momsen (below), seen here in Jim Carrey's live-action Grinch movie? Well, The Sun (UK) did and the results are pretty interesting - check them out here!

For such a time of 'comfort and joy', there's also a lot of 'screaming and dread' involved with Christmas ... 'tis the season, indeed! Give a look at how YOUR favorite holiday stacked up compared to it at the link below:
