Laura, I think the front page is appropriate considering Art and Love - seems to fit both, i think. Though i would have loved to see the more modern versions you have. I do not know much about Egg Tempera, which seems not to be used a lot anymore, but has a wonderful long life.
Looking forward to see the book. A lot of work you have done! Congratulations my Friend.
Thank you dear P, actually there are quite a few more people working in ET but not compared to oil, watercolor, acrylic etc. I tried to find the other cover designs but they are buried in my email. Thank you for your support!
Thank you so much Laurie! Still so much to do but this is a big milestone. No more fussing with the manuscript! Thanks for all your support along the way!
Thank you Elaine, you were one of the first to get a sneak peak of the cover months ago. And one of the very first to read the early drafts years ago! Thank you for being there all along!
LOVE the book cover! You know that’s my favorite painting and one I cherish on my wall!!! A very hearty CONGRATULATIONS on seeing this dream come to fruition. xoxo
Thank you so so much Kathy! Well it's not actually a book yet but at least the manuscript is out of my hands. When the books arrive it will warrant a trip to Ashland!
A dream come true! The process of getting to this stage has mirrored the way you coax your paintings to their glory. Hooray👏🏼! You must be delighted and it’s perfect. Xx
Aw thanks so much Rebecca! And you're right it does mimic the sometimes years it takes for me to complete even one painting. You were a big part of this as you generously reviewed the manuscript maybe 2 or 3 years ago and contributed important insights!
LOVE the cover and the blurb on the back cover is riveting!! hoping your final laps to the finish line aren't wearing you down and you remain creative and enthusiastic

Beautiful design, I love it 🩷
Thank you Gabriele! I think you may have liked some of her wilder designs but I think the book is wild enough without a crazy cover ha ha!
I love the colors and design! Mazel tov!
