Featured in this lot is this 2006 original children's book illustration called "Slappy the Platypus," by Margie Jackson. There are fifteen original water color plates in this collection, including the page identity on a separate piece of paper. Margie Jackson (1934-2021) was a painter for years before she became a sculptor. Her experience at casting her creations in bronze began around 1976. Jackson lived on a farm in Yelm, Washington but grew up in Texas and Oklahoma. Because the range was open and cattle left on their own, they would be prey to packs of wolves and coyotes. Horses were still respected as a means of transportation and the area was plentiful with Native Americans still richly steeped in their own culture, lending to the inspiration of her work. Among her numerous awards are Best of Show-Sculpture at the Celebration of Western Art Show in Olympia, Washington and First and Second places at the 1986 and 1987 Arizona Annual Art Shows. She was commissioned to create a bronze and limited-edition print celebrating the Washington State Centennial. The city of Yelm purchased one of these pieces for installation in the City Hall. The condition of this collection of children's book water color illustrations is good, with no obvious signs of damage to the illustrations. The measurements of these water color illustrations are 6 1/8" x 9". Provenance: This is from the personal artist, Margie Jackson.
