Sara Midda











































Thanks to my Hartford friend and extraordinary designer/illustrator Jack Tom, I now know about Sara Midda and her wonderful books and illustrations. They are tiny, colorful, soulful outpourings of love of nature in crisp watercolor daubs and handlettering that stops you in your computer tracks and beckons you back to the real brush. Yes, these little decorative gems on every page have inspired me and lured me away from PS for awhile.

Oh, I have this book!! It belonged to my Mother - she loved gardening and painting! I often flip through the pages, it's inspirational - need a magnifying glass sometimes to see all the detail though!

I have been trying to find some artwork or posters of the artwork in this book. Does anyone know of a source?
