Joy, this is a beautiful cover! I love roses and red, and showing the natural blossom with the woven silk shows our connection with nature. And I'm sure that the cover has a special meaning that comes from the story!
New name...same paintings. Most of my pieces will be done in oil paints. Some of my offerings are color pencil paintings Why do I call it a painting if it is a color pencil drawing? Because, it is done in layers with the color pencil and then using mineral spirits to spread out the color with a brush or swab giving it a washed effect, more like watercolor than color pencils.
If anyone is interested in learning to do art the way I do it, I have a series of "HOW TO" Dvds for sale at http://www.stepbystepdvds.com/ . I also will be adding a members site that will include all kinds of art tips, tricks, videos and more, soon.
I am an artist and a writer. My first book, Carrie and Hope was published April 2011, followed by Emily's Art and Soul in June 2011. I have been creating art since I was a small child, but the writing is a more recent passion. I am glad you are taking this artist journey with me.

I always love red on book covers and the rose is a nice romantic touch. Congratulations on your upcoming release!
Think I hit email button instead of comment button, but I think this looks the perfect cover for a romance.
I think it is beautiful Joy!
Beautiful cover and so very romantic. Roses, to me, are the symbol of love and romance.
