I'm thrilled to find it, so much that I've updated the original post. <br /><br />Thanks Brona, I enjoy art, and learning about it, but clearly I've only dabbled about the edges - so much still to learn. I agree with you about the colour palette.

Thankfully Shaun Tan's work so easily lends itself to rereading, in fact it's almost required.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187730620736345378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-13614947663832887652011-05-16T19:11:24.892+10:002011-05-16T19:11:24.892+10:00Shaun Tan did not use Edward Hopper's "Ni...Shaun Tan did not use Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" artwork.
