Happy World Book Day! I’ve painted a number of books and reading cats/people over the years. Here’s a small collection to celebrate the joy that is reading! Check out my Society6 shop for even more prints!

A Good Read
Yesterday was apparently all about the books for me…
How Sheep Fall Asleep?
Claire and Anna
Autumn!
It’s finally starting to really look like Autumn around here! Our neighbor has the two best trees on the block, so we always go over and ask if we can utilize his yard. Thankfully, he always says yes. =P
Tomorrow we’re waking up early (hoping there’s fog again) to photograph the scenery.
Summer Reading
The joy of cracking open a new-to-you book, delving right into another world, and meeting all sorts of people. Summer is the best time for the children to partake in new adventures. The kids are enjoying my birthday books. =)
Birthday Books and a Pet Show
July 24th was my birthday and it was the best weather day so far this July! Cool, at times cold, and no humidity! We went to a book sale at a local Episcopal church and scored on a lot of great classics. I had an internet friend visit from Alabama, which was super awesome! I showed her this tiny little town and stopped for a bite to eat at my friend’s restaurant. Then to finish the day, Anna begged me to let her take a kitten to the local pet show, which her best friend was going to along with Flurry the goldfish. I gave in and we went. Peaches ended up winning 1st place in unusual markings, 2nd place for prettiest eyes, and 3rd place for fluffiest-though technically he should have won 1st place for that. haha =P It was a great day.
Happy Mother’s Day!
To all human and fur baby Mothers alike, I hope you have a super fantastic day! =)
The Reader
My son has been wanting to participate more in front of the camera, as opposed to behind the scenes helping out. He’s at an age where I’m cautious about making him appear too young, or too goofy in a not-on-purpose way. So the obvious option was something to do with books. He’s a serious reader. He inherited my problem of not being able to put down a book. There’s no ‘savoring’ of stories, there’s only, “OH MAN! What happens next?!” Then you realize a day has passed and you’ve finished the book.
The Reader
There have been many times, when I’ve settled in to read a book, that one of the cats decides they want to also share in this time. I’ve never really confirmed whether or not they like the stories, but that’s irrelevant. =)
While I was painting this, I was reminded of a picture I took of my daughter reading and our cat Merlin curling up with her.
