Surprise someone special (or treat yourself) with this charming collector plate!
This exquisite, limited-edition collector plate is titled "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." It is part of the Treasured Songs of Childhood Collection painted by John McClelland and produced by RECO. It depicts a young girl in a garden surrounded by stars. It is fully marked on the underside with the name of the artist, a copyright date of 1988, and a hand-applied serial number. The plate is 8 1/2 inches in diameter. It comes in the original box with a certificate of authenticity and additional literature. Excellent, like new condition from the estate of Joseph Hilb of Siler City, North Carolina.
John McClelland was born in Stone Mountain, Georgia, and attended the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, the Grand Central School of Art, and the Art Career School of New York City. He also studied with Jerry Farnsworth. John is especially successful in painting children and was commissioned to paint a portrait of Mrs. John F. Kennedy with her children for Good Housekeeping magazine. McClelland first illustrated for Collier’s magazine in 1947 and has now worked for most of the national magazines, including Woman’s Day, Good Housekeeping, McCall’s, Redbook, American Magazine, This Week, The American Weekly, and The Ladies’ Home Journal. His work has won several first prizes and other awards at shows in New York, Boston, New Haven, Hartford, Atlanta, and at regional exhibits. McClelland moved to Savannah, Georgia in 1986 and confounded the Landings Art Association there. He continued to show in regional exhibits and has won several awards.

If there is a concern or doubt, please ask prior to purchase. Remember that color is a very tricky thing to transmit electronically. There are many variables, including lighting, background, physical filters, digital filters, the capabilities of the monitor on which the image is displayed, and the color perception of the viewer.
