The Red Tree

There's a book.
A book that I absolutely adore.
It's by Shaun Tan an Australian author.
If you haven't seen it already... then take a look here for a glimpse at it's true beauty.

I was inspired to create a Red Tree because of this book.  Great books to me are little boxes of magic.
Novels, kids books, gift books whatever... if they're fantastic then I love them... and want to have them. You all would probably be bowled over if you saw how many books i have in my house... it's like a mini library or a small warehouse. It's not only because I adore good books (which I truly do) but it's from my years working at Pan Macmillan as well as the fact my wonderful Dad has been in publishing now for over 15 years.  I also just shut down my ebay book business so I've got a lot of stock left. (need to organise it and work out what to do with most of them... am thinking about a garage sale).

So here's my latest painting... inspired by the beautiful book above.
I framed the painting and now have it hanging in my living room. (below)
