This is the deal, right here. Black and white, legs stretched out wide, she’s a beautiful dog. Content because I took her for a walk. Making GREAT headway on my book, Nap Time Paintings. In fact, I have learned more the way that things have gone than if they had gone how I imagined they would. I figured I was paying the publishing company to layout my writings and illustrations beautifully. Tt would look fantastic. I found out, Artistically I am required to make all the decisions if I want it to look good, how I imagine it looking. Mind Blowing. You learn something new every day. I want to paint now. I have an hour. I also want to take my paintings to the frame shop. My new Book, School Time Paintings By Jenny Hynes. Catch ya on the rebound.

I recieved my Galleys yesterday for Naptime Paintings! The writing part of this project, the editing service, has gone well, so when I saw my manuscript interior and cover design yesterday I was disappointed. The cover looks so cheesy, the titles of my paintings are super imposed on top of my paintings and they aren’t correct, they used the file names. This was a breakdown of communication for sure. Although I’ve sent examples of the feel of the book, the way I wanted my titles printed. Ugh. It feels like this company has never done an art book before. But I’m going to fix it.
I feel like I over paid, but I’ll give the company a chance to make this right.
Back to work!!!
