She studied the colorful costumes and the sometimes graceful, sometimes grotesque postures of the skaters, then painted a picture that captures the carefree abandon of America's favorite winter sport. A native of Vancouver, British Columbia, Sheilah Beckett is a completely self-trained artist. She has illustrated many children's books, and once spent a year in London doing research for illustrations for a collectors' edition of Gilbert and Sullivan. She is the wife of artist J. Frederick Smith, whose work appears regularly in Esquire Magazine. [Painting on the front AND Back!] ARTICLES: INSIDE front cover: "An Illustrated proverb suitable for framing". From Samuel Johnson.
