The Magic of Books

I love this – oneself as a child, I suppose, but it also tells about all the little girls who are always preparing to transmit culture to their future children – it’s the expression on her face, I think. Also I want to say that I admire all your work and found it thanks to Cliff’s Water Dragon because I’m always searching for dragons to illustrate a book I’m working on called “Fantasy With Dragons’.

this is exquisite!..well done :)

I know exactly what you mean about books! This is delightful :)

So Lovely!!!

As a child, I also loved to read. My fascination for reading seemingly disappeared as an adult, but I am hoping to rediscover the pleasures of reading again soon. This is a beautiful beautiful image. You have an amazing portfolio of exquisite images :-)

Fantastic creation.. beautiful!!

Fantastic folio- so many favs xxxxx

I love this, we grew up with some truly excellent books, and I’ve been a reader solid for the last 35 years, always pick up another book after the last one. Anyone who thinks books are passe is a moron!

Simply fabulous. I also enjoy reading and I find I can be carried away into whatever realm I am
reading, so indeed reading is indeed a magical experience.

It truly does bring the books to life!! Fantastic painting. Love reading as well, books of all types, genres, generations! Instant fav! :o)

How lovely!

This is so wonderful….it looks so much like me as a little girl! I too used to read so much as a child (and still do) and I certainly know the feeling of books “coming alive” and taking us to amazing places! Fantastic work!

adorable!!!

This is absolutely beautiful. xx

What a beautiful piece of art… Reading has been a passion of mine from my early years – when I could just hold a book & pretend I was reading – to now – when I have to wear bifocals & peer closely at the letters…... Great Job!

Lovely!

Ditto to what you wrote Tammara; beautiful creation! I think the love of reading is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give a child!

Dreamlike and surreal. This image makes me very happy :)!
