['The Book Review' gouache paints on water-colour paper 5"x7"]
We meet to discuss the Alchemist. i had not yet read it, so i collect a copy to read after. What i did though, was familiarize myself with the novel, through internet searches. Not having been to book club meeting for quite a few months, i am glad of my decision to attend when i get there, armed, with my dish of just cooked cornmeal coo coo with ochroes. So, when codes of: fantasy, Personal Legends, Urmin and Thummim, Soul of the World, Language of the World, Elixir of Life, omens, maktub; are tossed into the web of discussion, no way am i lost.

I really like your art, you know that already. I was chuckling when you wrote that you read up on the book from the internet before you went to book club. I love that! :) Hey what ever works. Glad you had a good time.
What a great idea to review the book before you go... now don't make that a habit haha. I like your art expressing your week. Very clever. So much of the time I try to find something to paint but forget what is right in front of me.
Thanks for dropping in Nicole
Much love...

What a neat painting with all the ladies talking! We females are such Chatty Cathys, aren't we? Your haiku poetry is always a delight to read.
Thanks for dropping in Faye

Good for you for preparing before going to the discussion! Nothing worse than showing up at a group to find most haven't read the book and the discussion goes nowhere.
your poetry is superb I love the line...pop of fake champagne. I havent read The Alchemist but like the idea of your book club captured in your painting..thanks for visiting
Thanks for dropping in Lorraine

lovely painting and terrific poem. I haven't heard of that book!
It's really a joy to watch you blossom on your blog. To know more about you and see your wonderful art develop! Such a sweet art piece!
Hugs Giggles!
Cornmeal coo coo sounds delicious. Your art tribute to the book club is lovely.
Hi Gillena, so happy to see your art for the 29 faces!
Please add a Label in the posts, like any other Label, and I will fix your entry in the Mr Linky, so you only need one entry to show all the posts, but I can only do it if you have a Label lol
I hope you are having fun!! :oD
