As I’ve mentioned once or twice before here, my mother Annie Herron is a talented artist. So it was pretty exciting when she agreed to do a few illustrations and paintings for my book, and as its release date approaches I wanted to share a few of them here.
Here above and below are four favourites. We used these trees to open each seasonal chapter and I love them. Thank you so much Mum, your contribution to the book means LOTS. And….speaking of the book’s release, if anyone is keen to come along, say hi and help celebrate it with me, here are a few dates for the diary:
