Beautiful painting, as always Ann and it's perfect for a book lover. Who wouldn't want to lounge amongst those beautiful blooms and page through a beloved book. Great card.

Ooh what a fabulous painting, Ann! This stack of books is such a calm and peaceful scene. Makes me want to curl up and read them.

Fantastic card. I love the books, Chip is an avid reader (especially at night). Your painting is lovely. He asked if you painted it (smile) -- of course!! Thank you so much for sending this to him.♥
