Lynn!

I downloaded your book last night and am going thru it today and wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying it. It's not just the drawings but the explanations that go along with it, showing how you grew as an artist over that time and what you learned about yourself. It's wonderful, and with the bright colors, very cheerful and delightful. I havent finished it yet but just wanted to reach out and let you know how much I am enjoying it.

Congratulations on this milestone

And then on FACEBOOK my son wrote:

Your book is so awesome! I just visited Blurb and was able to see it in all of it's splendor. I'm so impressed. I found it interesting to read as well as enjoyed the beautiful and inspiring art. I love seeing the evolution of your drawings and paintings, I love the story, I love the dedications, and I love you. Thank you for your vulnerability; authenticity, and sharing your talent with the world.
