How exciting to know one of my dad's paintings will be placed on the cover of a book. April 16, 2010 I recieved an email from a writer, Marie Manilla http://www.mariemanilla.com/ who this fall will be publishing her first collection of short stories. The title of the collection is Still Life with Plums. Searching the web she came upon my website & was excited to find my dad's work, particularly his painting also titled Still Life with Plums. Ms. Manilla wanted to know more about the painting and requested my permission to use dad's painting for the cover of this upcoming book. Of course I gave her permission and after several attempts to get a clear jpg of the image to her, and four versions, a final design has been chosen. How cool is that?!

With a chuckle, a side galnce and twinkle in his eye, I can see and hear him saying - Really? How pleased he would be. I'm thrilled and can't wait to see the book on the shelves. I will post the cover once it is final & printed. See dad, you're here to stay.
