First I will show you a few shots of the wonderful remembrance book she made for me of that trip, for my birthday. It is truly a work of art. Every detail was planned to reflect me or the trip. She stole pics from my blog postings to use within this booklet. The photos I took of the landscapes were good resolution, but she had to use the only shot I took of my artwork – which included all of them in one shot - so she had to crop each of the paintings to include it in the booklet.
This shows the neat dust cover she created with the map of the area of Zion National Park:
The booklet itself, is all handmade, with a tiny medallion of my initial, and a lovely texture to the paper which looks like tooled leather:
On the inside of the cover:
I can’t photograph all the many pages, but they all included my photographs:
Here is one of my favorite shots of me and my new friend Liz. Liz’s husband Mason took this great shot of the two of use as we were painting along the river together:
Look at the attention to detail – it is amazing! She thought of everything! It is spectacular!
So this spurred me to get all the artwork photographed right away. (I have never named this paintings)
That's a very cool gift, Nancy! What a good friend she must be. And those are some good paintings, too!
