Kunstdruk Platycercus auriceps Platycercus Nouvelle-Zélande - John Gerrard Keulemans – Introductie boeiend In de fascinerende wereld van de vogelkunst onderscheidt de kunstdruk "Platycercus auriceps Platycercus Nouvelle-Zélande" van John Gerrard Keulemans zich door zijn schoonheid en precisie. Dit schilderij, dat de essentie van de Nieuw-Zeelandse vogelwereld vastlegt, dompelt ons onder in een levendige wereld vol kleuren en details. De veren van de parkiet, in een heldergeel en diepe groen, lijken bijna tot leven te komen en roepen de melodieuze zang op van deze iconische vogel. Keulemans, door middel van dit kunstwerk, beperkt zich niet tot het weergeven van een onderwerp; hij nodigt ons uit om de rijkdom van de biodiversiteit en de delicatessen van de natuur te waarderen. Stijl en uniekheid van de kunstdruk De stijl van Keulemans wordt gekenmerkt door een verbluffend realisme, waarbij elk detail zorgvuldig wordt bestudeerd en weergegeven. De nuances van kleuren, van groen tot geel, met accenten van blauw, getuigen van een uitzonderlijke technische beheersing. De kunstenaar slaagt erin om de textuur van de veren bijna voelbaar te maken, waardoor de kijker de lichtheid van de vogel kan ervaren. Bovendien zorgt de subtiel vervaagde achtergrond voor een focus op het hoofdonderwerp zonder afleiding, en creëert zo een harmonieuze visuele balans. Deze kunstdruk beperkt zich niet tot een eenvoudige voorstelling; het wordt een venster op het Nieuw-Zeelandse ecosysteem, een eerbetoon aan de wilde schoonheid en de kwetsbaarheid van de natuur. De kunstenaar en zijn invloed John Gerrard Keulemans, geboren in 1842 in Den Haag, wordt beschouwd als een van de grootste vogelillustratoren van zijn tijd. Zijn passie voor vogels en zijn betrokkenheid bij de natuurlijke wetenschap hebben hem doen samenwerken met gerenommeerde naturalisten en ontdekkingsreizigers. Keulemans wist kunst en wetenschap te combineren, door illustraties te maken die niet alleen de schoonheid van vogels vastleggen, maar ook waardevolle informatie verschaffen over hun habitat en gedrag. Zijn invloed blijft voortbestaan in de wereld van kunst en biologie, en inspireert talloze kunstenaars en wetenschappers door de generaties heen. Via zijn werken heeft hij bijgedragen aan het bewustmaken van het publiek over de bescherming van soorten, waardoorShipping Notes

An enjoyable new series with promise
Format: Mass Market Paperback
This is the first in a series. I have already ordered the next one so I like it. The main character Charlie Harris is a widowed library archivist. He lives in his late aunt's house and takes in borders and he owns a Maine coon large cat named Diesel. This is already a somewhat unusual cozy mystery because the main character and devoted cat owner is male. Charlie is a very personable character. He loved his wife (she died of cancer) and his late Aunt. He has 2 grown-up children that he cares about and he likes his job. He gets involved in a murder because his boarder, a young college, student is involved. His archival skills come in handy in providing clues to the murder. The deputy in charge of the investigation is the daughter of his long-time housekeeper. I didn't peek ahead to see who-did-it and I enjoyed the story til the end.. I don't think it's the type of mystery where all the clues are available and the reader tries to figure it out. The reader gets the clues as Charlie . gets them and finds out who the murderer is when Charlie finds out. Yet, the characters are engaging, the setting is interesting and it is a fast and enjoyable read. The plot is credible I like it.

Very good, entertaining mystery.
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I don't know if this author has written other books before beginning this series but it is a very good FIRST in what is so far just a 3 book series. I ordered all 3 but am reading them in order as I always do. The author tends to go into too much detail about mundane things about things like fixing a meal, etc., but it isn't too distracting from the story. I like a little hominess but this is overdone just a tad. The story moved right along establishing characters without throwing in so many that you simply can't keep them all straight as some authors do. A thoroughly despicable victim so nobody cares if he dies violently. And, to me, a reeeely surprise ending. For someone who has read as many mysteries as I have, this was a pleasant surprise and the author doesn't give you hints till you are almost at the reveal so that you feel clever at figuring it out but you don't figure it out too early and you are still a bit surprised that you were "right" about who did it. Also, the "hero" is a thoroughly likeable guy. Don't you hate it when the "hero" or "heroine" just comes across as someone you don't really like much. You know, the one that if he or she gets beat up, you sort of feel like they deserved it and you've not really sorry. Well, if something bad had happened to "Charlie" I'd have been very upset. Now, if #2 will just show up I'll get on with the series. This is a series I'll be keeping in my library to reread in a couple of years.

OK book
Format: Kindle
I read this for our book club, got the book on Kindle, so the "back of the book" description was not there...It took me a while to get into the book. I'm used to female lead characters, and I had to adjust for the lead character to be Mr. Charlie. The manners shown by the characters are a bit dated, by about 40 years, but it's nice to be re-exposed to good manners. Loved Deisel the cat, but whenever he's mentioned (which is a lot) it tells he's a cat. That got to be old, fast. Otherwise, it was a good book, quick read. I was rather shocked to learn that Miranda James is just a pen name for a male writer.
