Alice, and other moms of one boy and many girls........

Have you seen this painting by Sophie Anderson???

The Children's Story Book

It is simply gorgeous!!!!

I got this book: COME LOOK WITH ME: DISCOVERING WOMEN ARTIST FOR CHILDREN from Rainbow Resource Center, by Jennifer Tarr Coyne..............and this painting was the first plate........and I just had to show Alice!

I have not even looked at the rest of the book yet...........it looks a very lovely book. I am glad I got it.

Enjoy!

The boy in the picture looks quite familiar...no socks on the feet, holes in the socks, rolling around on the ground...

After a big search, I ordered a print on ebay!

Maria, I thought of you right away when I saw this.

Thanks again, Chari! Now I'm thinking about asking the museum for permission to use their image as a Cottage Blessings blog header. I've never found just the right one . . . until now!
