30, artist, mother, book addict

I love to read and I live in a house overrun with books. I justify this book addiction as being a good example for my three boys. I am artist, so I really like almost any book about art- fiction or non-fiction. My favorite book is The Time Traveler's Wife. Recently I've become very interested in young... more »

    Hi! I found you in the "Members Most Like You" section. I see that you like books about art. You might enjoy Nicole Mones' "Cup of Light." It's a great novel, set in China (mostly) and all about art.

    Try Ladyfingers by Delorys Welch Tyson. The story takes place in the South of France.

    Hi Painterlady, Love your avatar. Is this one of your own painting ? I also paint and find it to be a way to escape just like reading. Have you read any novels by Daniel Silva ie: The Messenger. It's a spy novel but the main character is an art restorer \ spy... Claire

    This painting (profile pic) is amazing! I love everything about it.
    I'm assuming it is one of yours? I also paint - well, I push paint around, how about that? ;)
    Mostly nonrepresentational, but I so enjoy it. I work primarily with acrylic, though it wnds up looking like oil b/c i lay it on so heavily and have a thing for painting many works on the same canvas, covering them with another until I hit on something I like! Your shelf is most impressive. Cheers and happy reading. I hope we can have a chat about books and art! Sabra

    In your profile pic, one of your own paintings! Wow, it's stunning if it is and if it isn't. I dabble in oil and acrylic paint, largely abstracts because I'm not good enough for representative art. As a writer, I consider myself first and foremost an artist who works in sounds and meanings to paint a picture with words, phrases and paragraphs. My chief aim or rule is that truth conforms to music -- beauty over reason. Something to that effect.

    Hi, thanks for inviting me among your friends here! :-)
    You have an indeed impressive bookshelf - I just wish we could see more of YOUR paintings too.

    I see you like Alice Hoffman. One of my all-time favorite novels is Ilumination Night by Alice Hoffman. I think it's her best -- while it touches on some of the elements found in her other novels, elements of magic and fate, in this novel the treatment is a little more realistic (even though there's a giant in this novel)... Read it today!!!!
    BTW I like all your art books. I am a budding artist and find reading about art fascinating.
    Take care,

    The picture looks exactly like my dog, but no it's one of those stock footage shots. We just got another Chihuahua, a male...
