From Library Journal:
Decorative artists will be interested in these two new volumes, each of which takes a unique view. Active artists and teachers in the folk arts, Diephouse and Deptula are primarily landscape artists who concentrate on seasonal illustrations for boxes, floor cloths, picnic baskets, and the like. Their highly usable book comes with traceable patterns, detailed instructions, and step-by-step photos. Stansifer, a decorative arts teacher and writer, shows decorative painters how to depict baby bobcats, Siberian tigers, cottontail rabbits, blue jays, and chipmunks. She provides close-up photos, color swatch charts, fur and feather growth diagrams, and a list of suppliers, with e-mail addresses and web sites. Both books are recommended for public libraries of any size.
