Nursery Wall

I painted a series of Ideal Bookshelf pieces for the Jeffers Design Group to use in a client's nursery. The rest of the room looks amazing; will link to more photos when available.

JR, a librarian, sent me the books collections of her two young sons, so that they (and she) could remember them when they're grown. I loved painting all the little animals and insects. The spines of kids books are generally more "descriptive" and informative than the spines of adult books.

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 Spin.
