I sold my last “Library” print two weeks ago and it *almost* feels like the end of an era. I’ve had a stack of this print from when I first started my Etsy shop back in 2008, when we were using a local print shop. Has it really been seven years since I first painted “The Library”, and six since I started the shop? And now we’re printing from our home, using a beautiful, watercolor-like paper that honestly rivals the originals.
“The Library” has been a faithful piece, and well-loved. I think I’ll really miss the dear old thing. But no fear, “The Library” isn’t gone for good. While we won’t be seeing the old version, I’m creating a new one in the same spirit, just a jolly little revision and soon it will be back in the shop!
Oh, yay! I can’t wait to see the new library print! I have the “old” one hanging in our learning room. I treasure it dearly. It warms my heart and my son loves to look at it, too. :)
Oh, I love this, Breezy! It’s looking absolutely lovely! I can’t wait to see what the finished painting will look like!

Hi Breezy,
I always enjoy seeing your artistic work. The Library has been a favorite of mine that I’ve seen in your shop before and have liked, because I have such a kinship with good books. :)
You mentioned that you are now printing from home. I’ve been selling digital (typographical) art prints, but am wanting to expand to selling the tangible art print like what you do. So, I am curious to know what kind of equipment you use for printing? I’ve been debating whether to use the local print shop or find a way to do it myself.
Many thanks and blessings,
Tarissa
