All the artists who participated in Fifth Avenue Gallery's benefit show entitled "Hopes and Dreams" were asked to create books to go along with the art work we submitted. The books were also sold to help raise money for the Genesis House. We were given small board books and the freedom to pretty much do whatever we wanted with them within the "Hopes and Dreams" theme.
So here's my book. I was working on it right after we moved from Boston to Cincinnati and I was feeling the pressures of everything that was going on with the move, the house, the new business, etc. It might be a little tricky to read this way, it's a lot easier if you're looking at the actual book. If you want to see these images more clearly, click on the pics for a bigger version. And don't try to read the cursive text behind the paint. Just read the print written in ink on every other page.
