A couple weeks ago, I went to see the special Mary Blair exhibit at The Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco.
This post is very photo heavy, but if you make it all the way to the end, there's a giveaway surprise for you! :)
Mary Blair worked on a number of different Disney animated films, including Peter Pan, Cinderella, and Alice in Wonderland. Next up- many of her illustrations from the development of the films.

This is so cool! I would love to go to this museum. I don't have a favorite disney artist but I do enjoy the Jim Shore disney pieces. Does that count? -M
ReplyDeleteJim Shore definitely counts! Love his pieces, too. :)
DeleteHow fun!! I love all the photos!! I second Meranda's comment - Jim Shore makes awesome Disney figurines! I also love the Thomas Kincade Disney paintings!
ReplyDeleteThomas Kincade's paintings are beautiful. I have a few of puzzles that are of his Disney paintings.
DeleteI don't really have a favorite artist, although Mary Blair and Jim Shore are among the most identifiable Disney artists! I'm sure visiting the Mary Blair exhibit was magical!
ReplyDeleteHow are you coming with your dining plans for WDW? 180 days is coming up quick!
It was really amazing to see her style in other Disney pieces other than Small World.
DeleteAhh! I totally forgot about the WDW dining reservations being 180 days out! I supposed I'm used to the mad rush DL has at 30 days. Thanks for the reminder!
Yes I like Noah
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen some of his pieces at the WonderGround gallery in Downtown Disney. Great artist!
DeleteMary Blair is my favorite! It's so whimsical and classic!
