I like picture books to have BIG pictures in them so I can see the art! That is the most important part right.<BR/><BR/>Do you play a part in how big the final book in printed in or is that the publisher. I like the size of the Beeman book.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see the new book!<BR/><BR/>Thanks again,<BR/>Mikemjartisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145492630249789011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861082149398181136.post-77307582269231382282008-11-12T02:47:00.000-08:002008-11-12T02:47:00.000-08:00Hi guys Thanks for the nice comments.I agree 100% ...Hi guys <BR/>Thanks for the nice comments.<BR/>I agree 100% with you about Lincoln, Susan, but I'm not too fond of Jefferson Davis. I know you have a bit of family history there though.<BR/>The originals were done in oils Mike. They are quite large. About 20 x 30 inches.<BR/>The book will be really small unfortunately.<BR/>All the best<BR/>PJPJ Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00084522129070266062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861082149398181136.post-49144811341778638442008-11-10T14:07:00.000-08:002008-11-10T14:07:00.000-08:00Mr Lynch,What is the original size of the painting...Mr Lynch,<BR/>What is the original size of the paintings for this book?

Thanks to that, I remember now that no matter how bitter that war grew, his words always expressed his own sorrow, a universal respect, and his belief in an enduring unity for the nation, even when that unity seemed to survive only in the two sides' mutual suffering.<BR/><BR/>I have a portrait of him hanging in the hall at home; though admittedly it's alongside Jefferson Davis (president of the CSA)! I don't think either of them would mind. He was truly a great man.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see the book.Susan at Stony Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385202649291774852noreply@blogger.com
