I got my book today. I was not only thrilled, but amazed at the vibrant printing, large photographs of the paintings, just a beautiful book. I want to add that chosing Chris Unwin as publisher was a wise move. Everything was more vibrant and well done, compared to other publishers. If you're wondering what the book is: it's Painting Life With Life In Watercolor, a watercolor How-To book by Bev Jozwiak. Thanks to my niece Judy Fishback I have a beautiful new gift.

There it was, wrapped in pristine white, waiting on my front porch. As soon as I opened it, I realized that inside there were awe inspiring paintings - wild looking crows, delicate ballerinas, and people unlike any other works of art I've seen in my very long life! Wow! Since then, I've studied each page taking in your words and advice. I also took the book to my watercolor class. Would you believe five friends want your book? Even the teacher! So, you are an inspiration, a mentor, and a teacher to many. What a fantastic combination. Thank you for sharing your talent with me and others.
Bev, I just received my book today, I'd been in Hawaii awhile so it was a special home coming gift from me to me! I've spent the evening pouring over the pages & find it such a huge gift, examples of your work, of which it is chocked full, demos, ideas , thoughts, so much knowledge shared! The colors are exquisite! Well done!! You must be so proud. You work is glorious! Such a huge inspiration to all!! Thank you for this beautiful book, a real treasure!

I am loving every single page, instruction, and painting! Last night the "Painted Ladies" (you've met quite a few of us over the years) got together in Mount Vernon and your book was a special prize. The prize winner was thrilled!
