Happy November everyone!
I am thrilled to announce that my Summer project 'Close to Home' is now all tied up in a book and available to preview and purchase from the Blurb bookstore by clicking the badge to the right, just underneath my profile.
The book contains 27 plein air sketches of homes from 3 villages in Cambridgeshire, England, UK...17 of which I have blogged about here.
It's wonderful to have all 27 sketches together to flick through, I'm pleased I'll get to keep them recorded this way.
I am so excited to be finishing this project to my plans made back in April, it feels good to see this through.
Benwick village hall are having a Dickensian Day on 15th November and I have a pitch there for my project sketches and books, so I'll be sending personal invitations out to the 27 different addresses I painted as well as promoting my presence there publicly.
Many will be dressing up in Dickensian clothing so it should also be a great opportunity for some sketching too!
I wish to thank all my regulars for your constant visits, praise and encouragement, your interest urges me to be productive EVERY day, as I have stated in my book....Hmmmm....'My book'...Sounds good....I could get used to that!

Anita - this sounds like a wonderful project and you have every right to be extremely proud of it. I shall have to nip along and have a look - are you autographing copies? :-)
Congratulations Anita. I am so proud of you. I am more of a regular lurker than participating in your comment section but I have been rooting for your all the way. You have been an inspiration to me in more ways than just your book. I hope it sells well. The launch at the feastival sounds perfect.
They make a gorgeous book, Anita - I will be ordering one for sure, and expecting you to sign it for and to me so that nobody who peruses my coffee table is left in any doubt that I know you! :)
By the way, the stencils for lettering in your journal were an inspired idea. I may have to nick that one. ;-)
I already have E-J - we bought a set in Ely last Thursday for me.
Love the colours and spread for this Close to Home post Anita. Good luck with the sales.
By the way, I brought myself home a sore throat which developed in the journey and was difficult all day yesterday leading the group through their first acrylic works and this morning its terrible so Ive had the morning in bed?? good excuse!! Loved my time with you.
Congratulations! I'm sure the book will be lovely. Do you know what the retail price will be, and do you have overseas shipping info? (to USA) ~jen~
Congratulations! It is a beautiful book! I am sure you will do well with it.
