Hehe I love this image. I'm sure any book lover would like this, too.
I'm putting it into my favorites. =)

I just can't stop to marvel at your wonderful ideas for your pieces. Ingeniously genius stuff. If I had the money I would buy quite a few pieces to support you. Just hold on a couple of years and I'll be there... I hope. ;) I do hope you will be around for a long time too. I always find your art inspiring, humorous and beautiful. A thousand kudos.

If I ran a children's library, I'd snap this image up in an instant, or if I were going to advertise something about a children's library happening, I'd want this included. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful ideas with us :)

"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." Pablo Picasso

What a fantastic idea. Is this from a children's story? If not, it should be and somebody should definitely write one immediately to correct the deficit in reality (or the reality of available children's fiction, anyway).

People often say that they recognise your work as soon as they see the thumbnail in the gallery. I recognised this as yours before that. My computer displays the tags while images are loading and I managed to read the title but not the author of this one. I didn't really need to read the author's name, though. Who else would post an image called 'The Tree of Books'?

The image is, naturally, excellent. I'm not sure librarians would be keen on people leaving books open like that in the branches, though - might break the spines.

It is wonderful to picture this as a library, closed for the day. Maybe a bit messy for a library, but the books are there. You can see at the bottom the "book-drop" where people have returned books after hours. I expect they will be returned to their proper branches tomorrow. Then the readers will return, climb to all their favourite branches and curl up against the main trunk, books propped open on their knees and a librarian at the base to check out borrowings...

One more thing one could not do with e-books...

Just so as it doesn't rain in these parts...

I'm curious, though. Which books did you imagine in the tree as you drew it?

I am honoured to be listed as a friend or to see an image of mine as a favourite, but I keep lists of neither. This helps me appreciate images uploaded by strangers as well as friends. Please understand that a failure to reciprocate in kind indicates a lack of appreciation for neither gesture nor work.

thank you all for comments! margali - special thanks :-) I really like how people treat my pictures in different ways, so I do not want to limit things with "what I meant" by a picture. I do like your vision of the tree as actual library! That did not come to my head yet ;-)
