ORANGE for Alphabet Thursday!

Our assignment this week for Mrs. Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday's Rainbow Summer School, is to find and post something ORANGE! This little art print is from a 1940's pictorial scrapbook I recently discovered.

And here is Rip Van Winkle himself wondering, "Surely, I have not slept here all night!"

Happy Rainbow Days!

    I love that picture :) It has a very painterly feeling to it. Rip Van Wrinkle definitely looks comfortable sleeping in that pile of leaves!

    Lots of shades of orange in that picture. When I first looked I thought it was Santa Claus resting up for December. :)

    AlphabeThursday sounds like a delightful Thursday doing to do! And you're scrapbook treasure enchants! Maybe I can come out and play on Thursdays, too! Uh-huh, I think it would be fun!

    Rip Van Winkle is one of those stories that has always freaked me out. I find it completely disturbing to conceive of waking 100 years after you fall asleep... although sometimes I wish that I could wake up a week from when I am and not have to deal with whatever it is I'm dealing with.

    You find the nicest and most unusual pics.

    I was telling my daughter something the other day and used an example of Rip Van Winkle - she said who is that?

    lol

    At first I thought it was Santa Claus lol. I'm glad you wrote who it was. It is a lovely picture with all the orange leaves.

    I like that illustration for Rip Van Winkle. I always found it a bit scary when I was a little girl, but that is a gentle illustration.
