Tasha Tudor's original art forms a very special part of the offerings at Cellar Door Books.  If you've seen them in person, you know how exquisite her watercolors are.  They have a vibrancy, a depth and a dimension that doesn't come through in published form.  You sometimes see details that are lost in the printing process, fine spider webs, for example. 

 

    We can offer you art ranging form small delicate pencil drawings to full-sized watercolors with myriad details.  We have drawings from Wings from the Wind.  A recent acquisiton is one of the Christmas card images of three children in red night robes examining the scene in the Christmas Eve fireplace.  Pictured here is a delicate watercolor of a mid-twentiteth century fruit store - with cowboys.Click on the image for more information. It was published in Biggity Bantam (1954).  Do peruse our Art section for a complete list of pecies available. 

   Lastly, we are happy to inform you - you may already have heard - of two fall auctions featuring Tudor material. Waverly Auctions is bringing to market the original suite of paintings for the 1987 Give Us This Day.  Waverly will also offer a selection of books with drawings and inscriptions to long-time friends in Concord N.H.  This auction is October 4,2007, at the gallery in Falls Church Va.
