October's Bookish Art...

 
Rose Mead -- Molly Reading, 1920

"...we gravitate toward the stories we need in life. Whatever we are longing for--adventure, excitement, emotion, connection--we turn to stories that help us find it. Whatever questions we're struggling with--sometimes questions so deep, we don't even really know we're asking them--we look for answers in stories."          --Katherine Center, The Rom-Commers

    I love the colors in this one, particularly the green wallpaper with its flowers.

    Once again, you have an image and quote that really resonate with me. I love stories--I love to read them, hear them, invent them, internalize them. Stories help me make sense of the world and my place in it.

    I think the quote is often true. And the painting is alluring in a quiet way.

    That is a nice quote, and it hits the spot for me, because my reading has changed so much in the last year (or so). I still read a lot of mysteries (and espionage stories) but so much more general fiction than before, and lighter more optimistic fiction. I think I need that in my life right now.

    I do agree with this one. It is amazing the way books can deliver what we need, sometimes without us even knowing it was what we needed before reading it.

    Beautiful bookish art and quote! Yes, I think we find what we need and what we're looking for in the pages of a book! :)
