Jessie Wilcox Smith Cross Stitch Patterns

It is always a pleasure to discover artists and their wonderful paintings. This week we are happy to announce the availability of 20 of Jessie Wilcox Smith paintings on PinoyStitch. Jessie Smith was an American illustrator best known for her work in magazines and children's books.

Quoting from wikipedia "She was a prolific contributor to books and magazines during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, illustrating stories and articles for clients such as Century, Collier's Weekly, Leslie's Weekly, Harper's, McClure's, Scribners, and the Ladies' Home Journal. Smith may be most well known for her covers on Good Housekeeping, which she painted from December of 1917 through March of 1933. She also painted posters and portraits. Her twelve illustrations for Charles Kingsley's The Water Babies (1916) are also well known. On Smith's death, she bequeathed the original works to the Library of Congress' "Cabinet of American Illustration" collection."
