Merry Christmas and Plenty of Buns Beatrix Potter

Three Rabbits Eating Plenty of Buns by Beatrix Potter, painted in the early to mid 1890s.

A delightful painting of three bunnies eating, yes, plenty of buns! I love her ingenious use of lettering which spells out the message "A Merry Christmas and Plenty of Buns." And liking good puns the way I do, I also love the play on words (buns like you eat and "buns" as a short form of "bunnies"). Beatrix Potter normally signed her works with her three initials in a lower corner, but she continued her playful use of lettering in this particular painting and placed them on the key tag instead, which I find quite charming.

The reverse (where you write your message and address the card) is done up in the authentic style of the period, but updated a bit for modern use (sorry, you can't send postcard these days for only "one cent domestic, two cents foriegn"!). If you prefer the standard Zazzle postcard back, simply delete the top image.

Please visit my gallery's Beatrix Potter Christmas Collection for another version of the postcard and many matching items.

Pierre-Joseph Redouté Camellia japonica 1827

As a Camellia grower myself, I can attest that all of us Camellia lovers are positively passionate about these little trees -- so if there's a Camellia grower in your life, you've found the perfect postcard.

I adore this particular print: lovely, simple, elegant, charming -- everything but the marvelous Camellia scent. Produced by "the Raphael of flowers" Pierre-Joseph Redouté for his sumptuous book of engravings Choix des plus belles Fleurs.

I love the graceful lines, the vibrant greens of the sun-dappled leaves and the rich red of the flower itself. Truly, it's an exquisite bloom. (Well, that's no wonder: the specimen he painted belonged to a French princess!)

Bosschaert Bouquet in an Arched Window Post Card

Bouquet in an Arched Window c. 1618 Bosschaert

Exquisite in detail, this glorious bouquet is perched in an arched window with a sublime view behind. I love the little caterpillar and the mayfly, and the tiny bee. Seashells also sit in the nice, one a perfect murax. The more you look, the more tiny details you notice.

Palette drawn from the flowers beloved of the Dutch in the 16th and 17th centuries. There are Rembrandt tulips, roses, Dutch iris, daffodils, narcissus, pinks, cosmos, marigolds and more.

Inside left is a verse from the same period by Pierre de Ronsard (1524-1585). The faint floral pattern on the inside pages also dates from the period.

Fully customizable, so you can add a message if you wish, or remove the verse or background images if you wish, using the "customize it" feature.

About the original work of art:
Artist: Bosschaert, Ambrosius the Elder
Title: Bouquet in an Arched Window
Date: c. 1618
Period or Movement: Northern Renaissance
Medium and Support: Oil on panel, 64 x 46 cm
Location: Mauritshuis, The Hague

About the artist: Bosschaert (b. 1573, Antwerpen, d. 1621, Middleburg) was a Flemish flower and still-life painter, active mainly in the Netherlands, where he is recorded in Middelburg from 1593 to 1613 and later in the Utrecht Guild in 1616. Although he spent the major part of his life in the Netherlands, Bosschaert's style was basically Flemish - similar to that of Jan Brueghel, with whom he ranks in quality and as one of the pioneers of flower painting as an independent genre.

His bouquets have a rich variety of flowers from different seasons arranged in a formal way. The degree of finish and exactitude, and the subtlety of the colour, are exceptional. His Bouquet in an Arched Windowis one of the most reproduced of all flower pieces. Bosschaert may fairly be said to have initiated the Dutch tradition of flower painting and his style was continued by his three sons, Ambrosius the Younger, Abraham, and Johannes, and also by his brother-in-law, Balthasar van der Ast.
