A-Z Challenge: "S" is for Strawberry

Source: Wikipedia

 

During the month of April, I am participating in the "Blogging From A-Z April 2012 Challenge", where we post everyday during the month of April (except for Sundays).  Daily posts begin with the next letter of the alphabet.  This is my third year of participating in the challenge. "CLICK HERE" to find out more.

This year, I have chosen to do a study on poet and artist, Cicely Mary Barker.  I am featuring her book "A Flower Fairy Alphabet".  Not only will you learn about pretty flowers, but I will also be giving you a few fun facts about Ms. Barker each day.

"The Pre-Raphaelites were a strong, lifelong influence on Barker.^[4] She once indicated, "I am to some extent influenced by them—not in any technical sense, but in the choice of subject matter and the feeling and atmosphere they could achieve." She admitted a fondness for the early paintings of John Everett Millais and "the wonderful things" of Edward Burne-Jones.^[2]"  Source: Wikipedia's Article on Cicely Mary Barker
