Patti Digh – January Book Release

WOO WHOO!

I am in! I just received word that one/or both of my paintings are in  The Geography of Loss: Embrace What Is, Honor What Was, Love What Will Be. By Patti Digh. I sent the submissions in September of 2012. I thought the jury process had long since ended, and just figured I had not been selected.

When I saw the letter in my box, I thought it was an invitation to take part in a new project. I am so happy! And on top of that AMAZING news, I will receive a free copy of the book when it is released in mid-January.

Here is the artwork I created for the themes they supplied. One had to do with maps, and the other was on how we handle loss. I believe this is Patti’s fifth book, and in each of them, she invites artists from around the world to take part in the illustration.

Wishing you all a very Happy weekend – filled with Happy news!

    Sheila, how wonderful to be published! Both paintings are lovely – beautifully designed too. The one on the left, I assume, is the one about loss. So many nice things working on a symbolic level in this one. Congratulations on being selected for publication.

      Jim thank you so much for stopping by. Your comments really mean a lot to me. So glad you like them both. I put together a little book from the tree painting, still working on getting it out there but you will see it again soon I hope 🙂

      Best to you Jim!
