I love to read. It takes me to places that I would never get to see. I get to visit new time periods. Meet people I could never otherwise meet. And see magical creatures. I can fight with pirates, or save a king. I can fly on a dragon, or talk to a fairy. Books can make you cry, laugh or tickle your imagination. Books ARE magic.
Thats what I thought of while painting this piece. I took great pleasure in thinking of the countless hours I’ve spent reading wonderful books. I tried to show the books coming alive for the little girl, I hope it looks like it. This painting just flowed from my mind. I loved every minute!

All of your fantasy pictures are to die for. I think this is my favourite though.

Thank you.

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’.
Thank you very much.

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 :-)
Thank you for the lovely compliment.

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.
