Emily Martin (The Black Apple) does amazing paintings and she says about this portrait, “There’s a nursery/nonsense rhyme that turns up in several of my old children’s books (Mother Goose & elsewhere) which goes:
Bat, bat,
Come under my hat,
And I’ll give you a slice of bacon;
And when I bake I’ll give you a cake,
If I am not mistaken.
I’m not sure if she lured him with bacon, or how exactly they got to know each other, but whatever treats she promised him aside: How nice to have a docile little bat to perch on your hand!”
Emily Winfield Martin, a.k.a. The Black Apple, creates amazing paintings, drawings and children’s books. Working from a tiny studio filled with treasures in Portland, OR, her stunning works evoke dreams of fairy tales, music, myths, classic illustration, film, and the natural world… oh, and she believes in sea monsters.
Size: Her stunning works of art come as a 20.32 x 25.4 cm (8 x 10 inches) print. The print is archival, water-resistant, fade-resistant, and has a beautiful richness. All prints arrive sealed in a cello sleeve.
