Nicoletta Ceccoli – A Series Of Twenty Five
Nicoletta Ceccoli is from the tiny country of San Marino, and a childrens author and illustrator acclaimed for her heartbreaking beautiful dreamscape pictures centred on themes of the innocent fantastical imagination of childhood.
There is a gentle melancholy to her work, combined with a pale (not dark) side akin to the phantasmagorial world of Lewis Carroll and other such Victorian authors and illustrators of whimsy.
As well as exhibitions, Nicoletta does illustrations for numerous childrens books, with many children (and those older) buying the books she’s illustrated as much for the sake of the beautiful artwork as the tale within.

Avril Paton – New Look In Abstract
From December 1998, Avril Paton – whose Windows In The West had brought her international acclaim – began to make abstract pictures using pastels, charcoal and graphite, instead of the oil, watercolour and egg tempra mediums of her trademark city scapes.
In 2005, she ceased officially creating paintings of everyday scenes (which had spawned thousands of unashamed Avril Paton clones in almost every city, town and village in Britain) to concentrate solely on her new direction with the launch of the ‘New Looks’ exhibition.
Twenty nine pictures in total for you to download.
The frames are recolourable.
Please note that you must have the Sims 3 Design & High Tech Stuff pack for the above paintings Drowning, Joust, Other Worlds, Picasso’s Blue, Pigging Out and Pinkland to show up.

Avril Paton – The Glasgow Years
Paintings by Avril Paton, originally from the Isle of Arran (that’s Arran, not Aarin!) whose paintings of tenements and everyday scenes of Glasgow became symbolic of the city’s attempted post-industrial regeneration during of the 1980s and 1990s.
Her painting Windows In The West in particular attracts as many visitors worldwide to Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum as does Salvador Dali’s Christ Of St John Of The Cross.
In 2005, she ceased painting city scapes to concentrate on more fantasy related artwork.
