Well Read

Well Read

The subjects in my paintings often remind me of someone in my life. This time it is my mother-in-law. She is a librarian. She loves to read and has passed this love down to my wife and sister-in-law.

The book in this painting belonged to my grandfather. It is a short inspirational christian study book titled Abundant Living by E. Stanley Jones. My grandfather recieved it from a fellow deacon at his church. Sometimes adding personal treasure adds to the sentiment I feel for the piece.
