Antique Books

The annual Book Festival is coming to Washington, DC this weekend on the Mall and I thought this photo was very appealing.

I’ve always like the look of worn, antique books, as well as reading them. Their covers and colors remind me of certain decorative finishes, like faux rust or copper.

Yeah, the weekend is here, but more work to do is ahead. Have a great one!

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
