Kinnally Cove, Hastings, NY by Isabella Bannerman

This painting is on display at the Hastings Station Cafe during the month of May (closed Sundays). The painting looks out over the Hudson to Palisades, NY, formerly known as Sneden's Landing. 

Hudson Palisades, View from Hastings by Isabella Bannerman

This beautiful print is available at Isabella's show today (and throughout May) at the Hastings Station Cafe (at the train station) from 11-5. You can also email me for more information (jimnolan1@gmail.com). Great for Mother's Day, I think.

Frog Prince Cartoon by Isabella Bannerman

Looking at this drawing, I think that princes used to wear far more interesting clothes than we do today. This outfit is not for sale at Banana Republic. More Bannerman animal cartoons here. 

Food Advertising Cartoon by Isabella Bannerman

My son George and I are definitely "broadcastavores." Yesterday we bought eight cans of Campbell's Chunky Soup that we'd seen advertised on "Deadliest Catch" and we even threw some frozen Pillsbury Toaster Strudels into the cart. To be perfectly honest, we also bought a box of Entenmann's Pop 'Ems Glazed Donut Holes. None of these items was on the list Isabella provided us—surely an oversight.

Witch Cartoon by Isabella Bannerman

I guess they have showrooms for these kinds of things. More Bannerman witch cartoons here or find "Witch Cartoons" in the Categories section on the lower left of the blog. There's also a "Paranormal Investigation" category, by the way.

Women Police Cartoon by Isabella Bannerman

This is probably how Angie Dickinson prepared for her role as Sergeant Pepper Anderson. More Bannerman cartoons here.
