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!
This is GREAT news! Sheila! Congratulation!!!!!! Your two drawings are so well done! So beautiful and dreamlike!
Lucy, thank you so much! (So nice to talk with you last night.) 🙂
