A good book has the magic that it enables you to be at two places in the same time.
The prompt 'Magic' in the Sketch A Day app made me think of that line(I could not find the origin of the quote) and I made a watercolour painting that shows exactly that feeling.
The chair, rug, small table and books are placed in a snowy forest landscape with a large owl.
The open book shows the magic by an outburst of warm colours.
It looks like the reader has just gone for a cup of tea (or coffee, or hot chocolate) and left the book open on the table.
Of course I used the idea of placing an alienating element in a landscape that I have practiced during my painting vacation last summer.
The information about the materials I have used, the size and availability of this painting and - if you are interested in my original artworks - my contact information can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
