I've just got back from visiting a very (very..) tidy friend. I always have the urge to hoover as soon as I get home from her house, and today I also tidied our bookshelves, which reminded me of these lovely paintings by Jane Mount -
They are called 'Ideal Bookshelves' and include her friends' favourite books. I think it's a great idea- you can tell so much about a person by their book collection.I thought I might do a painting of our favourite books this summer -it would have to include some Harry Potter, the Usborne Ocean Life Encyclopaedia and a few issues of Surfer's Path...
Which books would be in your painting?
My books would be an eclectic mix including these 5...
ReplyDeleteThe worms of Euston Square/William Sutton
The Passionn/Jeanette Winterson
The man in the high castle/Phillip K.Dick
The wasp factory/ Iain Banks
The Kenneth Williams diaries
Definitly a lot of children’s books!
