A love of reading

I was looking at my images on Google under my blog name Barbara Muir Paints,
and I came across the link to this wonderful piece about my work in a blog
called Reading and Art.

I remember this post, and my excitement at finding it in 2014. And I thought
I’d post this image that wasn’t included tonight. It's one of my favourite paintings
 -- a commission.

The timing was interesting too, because I was just settling down to mark a 
bunch of papers. Good reading skills really help my writing students succeed.
I love reading, and I’m so glad that I created these paintings, and that they were
discovered by Bas van Houwelingen in the Netherlands. And I hope that seeing
this makes you want to get yourself a really great book, and have a wonderful
weekend.
