Once Upon a Time
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating sketch by the renowned American artist, Claude Shepperson, dated back to 1918. This enchanting work of art transports us to a mythical and bucolic glade, where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur. Two ethereal nymphs, their lithe forms adorned with flowers and leaves, sit on the mossy bank of a crystal-clear stream. Their serene expressions betray a sense of wonder and delight as they watch a lively group of magical creatures frolic and play in the sunlit glade. The fauns, half-human, half-goat beings, dance and laugh, their horns entwined in a playful display. A mischievous imp darts between the trees, leaving a trail of sparkling fairy dust in his wake. A phoenix rises majestically from the ashes, its fiery plumage a stark contrast to the verdant surroundings. The scene is one of pure joy and enchantment, a testament to the power of the imagination. Claude Shepperson's "Once Upon a Time" is a rare glimpse into the past, a historical artifact that transports us to a time when magic and myth were a part of everyday life. The sketch is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always a place for wonder, joy, and the magic of the natural world. This beautiful work of art is a treasure to be cherished and admired, a reminder of the power of the human imagination to create worlds of wonder and delight.
