While paleontologists can spend decades recovering and studying bones and fossils, without a time machine, there is no way to truly know exactly what dinosaurs looked like. Bones give us the foundation for their bodies, but time and decay limit our knowledge of defining features like the skin, feathers, cartilage, stature, and muscle mass of these extinct creatures. Giving shape to prehistoric beasts that no human eyes will ever see is an inspired art form that takes a unique combination of science and imagination. Ukrainian paleoartist Sergey Krasovskiy is one of the leaders in his field, incorporating the latest paleontological discoveries into his dynamic paintings. Enjoy 12 of his dinosaur depictions in this calendar.

Mandalas are mystical symbols, typically circular and geometric in form, and represent wholeness or unified energy. They have played a role in Eastern spiritual development for centuries and are widely favored as meditational focal points because of their balancing and calming effects. Paul Heussenstamm has created more than 2,000 unique and spiritual paintings, and the mandala has become his signature motif. For him, mandalas open “the doorway into the symbolic language of the soul.” Let the 12 centering mandalas in this calendar bring you 365 days of equanimity this year.

Journey into space with the astonishing images from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. From its orbit above Earth, the telescope has probed the cosmos, peering deep into time the farther it searches and allowing greater understanding of what lies beyond our atmosphere. Hubble has recorded more than a million observations, making it one of the most productive scientific instruments ever built. On the ground, specialists meticulously clean and color the black-and-white photographs to help distinguish detail we could never perceive at such a distance. Each of this calendar’s 12 images is accompanied by a description of the celestial phenomenon depicted. Important dates in the history of space exploration, as well as this year’s eclipses and major meteor showers, are noted throughout.

Ever curious about what lay beyond the horizon, explorers, merchants, and military forces have for centuries relied upon maps to help them describe and navigate our planet. Although historical maps were often skillfully drawn and meticulously plotted, their layout tells only part of the story. Cartographers frequently included fanciful or factual drawings to tease the imagination and the intellect—a mythical sea dragon on Boazio’s map of Ireland, figureheads symbolizing the wind rose on Ptolemy’s World Map, and royal heraldic imagery on maps from the Rotz Atlas. Explore the world of old with the dozen fascinating antique maps reproduced in this calendar.

In relief prints enhanced with watercolors, these birds and more are accurately portrayed in their natural habitats.

Tom Thomson loved the rough country of northern Ontario. His exploratory artistic style and his appreciation of the wilderness helped shape the style of the Group of Seven, though his untimely death prevented him from exhibiting with the Group. Thomson created hundreds of small, miraculous oil paintings while supporting himself as a guide and forest ranger in Algonquin Park. Many of Thomson’s oil sketches were executed in only a few hours, but they remain masterpieces of modern, distinctly Canadian, art. Satisfy your wilderness spirit indoors with 12 of his landscapes chosen for this calendar.

Claude Monet was singularly devoted to capturing fleeting moments and impressions on canvas. The brisk seaside air at a Sainte-Adresse resort. Sunset reflected on melting snow at Louveciennes. The play of color and light on his beloved lily pond at Giverny. Although his style would change and mature, Monet’s interest in how we perceive nature is ever present in his paintings. His desire to record his perceptions in the open air, in his own style, led him to reject rigid rules of subject matter and composition. With his unbridled colors and flickering brushstrokes, Monet laid the foundation for Impressionism, one of the most influential art movements in recent centuries. The 12 paintings in this calendar span more than 50 years of his illustrious career.

In L. C. Armstrong’s magical realism paintings, everyday objects, flora, and fauna become fantastic and hyperreal. A hummingbird perches on the tail of a green-eyed cat, and a tiny human balances atop a lion’s back in a field of enormous sunflowers. Bloom-bedecked landscapes speak of happiness and optimism—though with an edge. A passion flower’s trellis might be made of barbed wire, and orchids might grow from stems created by setting fire to carefully positioned bomb fuses. Using thin layers of paint on panels of gessoed linen, Armstrong’s narrative works appear lit from within, ethereal and somehow spiritual, often aglow beneath a final layer of clear resin. Revel in the magical all year long with the 12 luminous paintings showcased in this calendar.

Bold in color and composition Georgia O’Keeffe’s flower paintings stunned critics and the public alike. A pioneer of Modernism, she walked her own path in the art world, making noteworthy and influential progress without sounding any great fanfare of her own. Experimenting with abstraction and color, she created a style that is as original as it is powerful. O’Keeffe lived to be 98 years old and completed over 2,000 works—an oeuvre that has forever left its stamp on American art. Twelve of her striking depictions of flora are showcased in this calendar.

The art of Romare Bearden is as complex and colorful as the artist himself. He came of age in Depression-era Harlem, and though deeply committed to social justice and opportunity for all, he never lost his humor and optimism. He explored subject matter that highlighted his interest in the humanities and his deep engagement with African American life and culture. From Martin Luther King Jr.—Mountain Top to Thank You . . . for F.U.M.L. (Funking Up My Life), Bearden’s artwork often reflected his observations of the rural South and urban North. Though best known for his richly textured collages, he experimented with many different mediums and artistic styles during his 55-year career. Bearden is widely considered one of the 20th century’s preeminent artists. The 12 images in this calendar showcase the broad range of his work.

The sweet curvature of branch and blossom balances the strong lift of mountain and bamboo in the landscapes of Kazuyuki Ohtsu. His woodblock prints are poetic contemplations, drawing us into tranquil scenes of the Japanese countryside. The colors he uses are elemental, deep, and true—expressive without drama. Ohtsu belongs to a generation that renounced the division of labor found in most print studios, preferring instead to master each step in the demanding process. After a long apprenticeship to the renowned master woodblock artist Kiyoshi Saito, Ohtsu struck out on his own, painting his original sketches, carving the woodblocks, and making the prints. Twelve of his harmonious artworks reflecting the changing seasons are reproduced in this calendar.
