Because I can't remember what I was going to Write Let's talk about Mary Blair :)

Mary Blair is actually one of my favorite artists so even though this is not what I had originally planned on writing since my brain has posted a sign saying "Will be fully operation by Nov. 22 running on 50% power", I actually don't mind dedicating a post dedicated to her.
Mary Blair was an amazing artist best know to have worked for Walt Disney. She was a painter with great talent and vision she could tell a story using color to it's full advantage. Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Three Caballeros were only 4 of the projects she worked on. She created the concept art in which you can see how greatly it influenced the films she worked on.
Of course how can anyone forget as well Mary Blair was the designer for the ride we know today Small World in Disneyland in California.
Mary Blair liked to use vibrant and a great amount of colors in her works. Once you see her paintings you can pretty much see which Disney films and shorts she worked on during he time at Disney.
She was an amazing artist who left a legacy at Disney for all time. This is a link to two shorts that she worked on if you scroll towards the bottom you will see the storyboards for Susie and Little House.

Here are some of the concept art she did







So here are some clips of some of the animation she worked on
