Dear Friends, Peaceful Holidays to All! I've just dismantled all three recent art exhibits and am settling down for a long winter's nap. Not really! I'm planning an exhibit at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Ga -- January through March. One of my small landscapes is also in the Greenwich Workshops show of small works in Fairfield, Ct. THE BOOKS ARE DOING WELL ! We are busy shipping out copies of the Limited First Edition of "Little Town of Spirals", the new children's picture book I have written and illustrated. Only 2000 copies will be made of this first edition and they are going fast. I RECENTLY SIGNED WITH A LITERARY AGENT AND WE ARE TRYING TO FIND A PUBLISHER TO EXPAND THE DISTRIBUTION OF THIS LOVELY BOOK! "Little Town of Spirals" is a fine art, keepsake book and I have tried to take all the right steps to make it a beautiful gift which will last a long time. Please click on the button above to order yours while they last. To see samples from the book CLICK THE BUTTON at the top of this page that says "Little Town of Spirals". A series of events is planned to show the original paintings and promote the book at galleries, schools, libraries and art centers so check my calendar for book signing events. NEW! Many of my images are now available as Cross Stitch charts through Heaven and Earth Designs . Great for Christmas gifts! http://www.heavenandearthdesigns.com. Cindy M.
