5.0 out of 5 stars Stunningly beautiful book!, May 29, 1999

Being a big Disney fan, I had to check this book out. What a beautiful work of art. Peter Ellenshaw shows a whole other side to his talents. This man is mostly known as a Matte Artist for some of Disney's greatest movies. In this book, he shows some of his and the Disney family's favorite paintings. They are wonderful! There is also a (too) brief bio with Mr. Ellenshaw's roots and story line. His credits and awards are also listed. Though not a "Disney" book, this one is a must have for the true Disney fan. Very highly recommended. The paintings are so nicely done, my wife thought they were pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where's the oversized edition!, March 2, 2000

Peter Ellenshaw's art is incredible! The only thing wrong with this book is that it is not over-sized, but at least I can enjoy the book regularly. Seeing some of the originals at the Powell Street Gallery in San Francisco fills the gap. Mr. Ellenshaw knows how to place a paint stroke that lets the viewer's eye fill in the detail.

I saw his paintings in San Francisco at the Powell Street Gallery and had to buy this book! It is a wonderful chronicle of his amazing life and body of work. A must have for art lovers and Disney fans alike!
