Life is Good. 5 x 7 Watercolor. © 2012 Sheila Delgado

I was fortunate to have two pieces of art, and a poem published in the 2012 edition. I am very happy with how the eyes turned out in this first piece. I worked hard on them, and learned in the process. This was the first time I submitted my work for publication. Such a treat to be included in this collection of talented artists.

Jessie was my cat for 21 years. Maybe 22. I’ve lost count now. She was feisty, affectionate, and loved a good nap. Of course. Sometimes I still expect her to come running to remind me it is time for dinner.

From the Book Collaborative website:

BookCollaborative.com, founded by Bradford G. Wheler, publishes books based on the content provided by Artists. The goal is a collaborative community of artists that promote art in general while at the same time having an opportunity to promote their own art. Artists provide digital images of their work along with any information they wish on themselves, the techniques they use, and the origins, and meaning of their art. From this collaborative effort books are compiled and published.

BookCollaborative.com’s 2013 book projects follow the very successful release of “CAT SAYINGS: wit & wisdom from the whiskered ones” in 2012, “HORSE SAYINGS: wit and wisdom straight from the horse’s mouth” in 2011, and “DOG SAYINGS: wit & wisdom from man’s best friend” in 2010.

Books published by BookCollaborative.com are distributed by North America’s largest book distributor Ingram, and Backer & Taylor. Currently the book is available on Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble.com and by order through any bookstore in the US, UK, and Canada.
