Treasured books that recall the giver who led me to them. This edition of Gift From the Sea was from my Mother, it is a lovely hard bound embossed edition.
Other treasures, sketch books filled from childhood. Diaries. The gift of reading, writing and sketching.
It is great to have these to look back on, the writing is hilarious!

Lovely pictures. SO nice to have sweet memories :0)
Such beautiful art here! I love way she's holding the book!
These paintings are so wonderfully gentle, I feel the same way about books. I appreciate the immediacy of Kindle but there's nothing like a real binding and pages book to make you happy.
Best,

I like the way you use watercolor!
That was one of my mother's favorite books. You have inspired me to go find a copy and read it again. Your beautiful paintings remind me of summer's spent reading in the porch swing.
I love this. It is one of my longtime and all-time favourite books, too. Such a lovely reminder.
Beautiful paintings, the love shines out of them. Proper, paper bound books are such a joy to hold, to handle and to curl up with to read.
Wow! Amazing watercolor! And your post probably resonates with many of us. Who doesn't love the gift of a book?
You made those hands so perfectly!! I think it is SO difficult! Another thing that I have to practise painting.
lovely sentiments and lovely paintings of the book with the sea-life examples.
"the writing is hilarious" - i'd love a sample :)
wonderful painting - i really like the girl with the wistful look on her face - remembering the story - lovely!
Beautiful painting... I can't imagine a home without books!! You should add this to illustration friday...this weeks theme was "book"!!

Beautiful paintings to illustrate your love of books. Lovely sentiments too. I adore books! I've heard only good things about Gift from the Sea but haven't read it myself.
Wow! These are amazing watercolor pieces. Blessings!
