I love the flatness of Mary Blair's style, and the beautful colors on the cheeks of children at play of Eleanor Campbell and Norman Rockwell's illustrations. My favorite modern take it Kelly Murray and Emily Winfield Martin's vintage styles.

Daniel and I are going to London in March! I am going with an Art Appreciation class, and he will be going with a World Literature class, but we will be traveling as one large group. We are so very excited! To add to our excitement, Miranda made this comic for me. And, I think it is simply hilarious! Ha!

What you need: 2 boxes of Pillsbury Pie Crusts  3 large apples 3/4 cups of sugar 2 teaspoons of cinnamon 6 tablespoons of flour 2 tablespoons of butter Makes : 24 Tarts Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

Set aside the other half for the tops to use later. Step 2: Peel your apples, and chop them into small pieces. Step 3 : Combine the chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, flour, and butter into a mixing bowl. (Use hands to mix ingredients.) Step 4: Place a spoonful of filling on the bottom cuts. Step 5: Place tops on. Using a fork, mash the two cuts together. Step 6: Cuts small slits on the top of the tarts. Step 7: Cook 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Bon appetit!
