I recognised the brooch or what ever it is on the right corner.
Bonus is that I have a post card of it from the museum on the wall as well
Not posted in here before - do I post my own image thats slightly obscured?

Red Hare

Yes you should obscure the image - maybe obscure it a good bit and give a verbal clue. ( be aware that others can use reverse image search engines such as tineye or google)

Ha, I will test it myself on reverse search to be sure :P

failinis

This is an illustration by an arts and crafts illustrator born in Europe.
They are not as well known for their illustrations than other forms of art.

failinis

Another clue is in order: the book was written by a rather famous American.

A person is riding an animal, but it is not a horse.

Correct
Your turn to post something.

Red Hare

That was a tough one failinis- Well done New Home - I would never have guessed it was Harry Clarke.

New Home

It's just that my generic, non-brand search engine skills are improving...

Just a sec, I'll wreck another image and be right back.

New Home

It might be too easy as it is... in any case, I'm only going to say 'Irish', for now.

failinis

I see it says "cropped" - is what is posted the whole image or only a section?

The colours reminds me of "The Whistle of a Jacket " by Yeats.

New Home

Sorry - no, it's not cropped - I named the file first as I meant to take a chunk out of it, but then thought better of it and I unleashed my 5-year-old inner self on Paint.

I'm afraid it's not Yeats.

New Home

Time for more clues.

The artist in question is living. He's from Belfast but lives in Dublin. There's a very tenuous connection, among others, with this, whose 'creator' is also a trained painter... although this could be misleading.

New Home

More clues.

This was painted around 1994.

Some of the artist's other works were also used for the theatre, opera, and even for An Post.

New Home

I think I might have killed the thread, with this picture... Either that, or you're all on holidays...

Would you like some more clues, or shall I just post the whole picture?

Pawwed Rig

reveal a bit more of the picture maybe

New Home

Red Hare

Thanks New Home - no I havent forgotten about it just any of the ideas i had of who it was ended in a dead end:)

New Home

Ok, last clue, then I'll reveal the picture, etc. unless I'm told not to.

failinis

Still no idea New Home!
It certainly was a good choice, everyone is stumped.

Dolbert

PJ Lynch, illustration from The Snow Queen


Edit: someone else take my turn, I've no access to image editing atm!

New Home

YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done, Dolbert!!!

The references,misleading as they might have been, were:

-Mr Burns playing the part of the Snow Queen
-Michael Nyman had written that music as a soundtrack for a film by Peter Greenaway, and PJ Lynch won the Kate Greenaway medal.



EDIT: I know it wasn't a painting as such, but I think children's books illustrations still qualify as art...

Oblomov

OOHHH that one.

LOL

Nice one, Both NewHome and Dolbert

nice to see new names appearing. Welcome Dolbert.

Pawwed Rig

As there is a free go available, and I am unlikely ever to get the ones you guys put up, here is my contribution.




You will all know this pic which is why I covered up so much of it.

New Home

Just a question, PR - Is the background picture the full image, or is it just a part of it?

Pawwed Rig

Full image

New Home

Ah, ok - it's not 'The Young King of The Black Isles', so...
