2010 / 9"x12" / gouache & ink on paper

SS commissioned this painting for her father as a birthday present. She's currently 3,000 miles away from him, so I photographed versions of the books he loves (based on the list she sent) at the bookstore (thanks B&N!) and combined them. I think the colors are amazing.

Ideal Bookshelf 85: NBM Ideal Bookshelf 85: NBM 2010 / 9"x12" / gouache & ink on paper RM commissioned this painting for her daughter, NBM. This may be the happiest looking set of books I've ever painted. The Girl Who Played With Fire was especially fun to paint. So was Let the Great World...

Note that it includes their family recipe collections, that they had combined into books at this place, very cool.
