It all started with a picture my daughter painted of the sun. When I decided to devote one entire wall of our home to favorite pieces of art, I knew Ava's sun would be the first thing I'd hang. And it was.
The collection rapidly grew around that one sun. As a seemingly random assortment of favorite photographs, art prints and vintage ephemera found their way onto the wall, I couldn't help but notice one particularly obvious running theme: sunshine. There's the sun-covered page from the old children's book The Sun Looks Down, my husband's illustrated version of the sun, Matte Stephen's 'Happy Sun' gocco print along with an old 'S is for Sun' flash card I picked up at a secondhand shop. To name just a few. I take great comfort in the fact that rain or shine, there will always be bright bits of sun in our home. As recent transplants to the often cold and rainy Pacific Northwest, I think they might be absolutely necessary. In fact, I'm not so sure I'll be able to stop until I've covered the entire wall. Good thing there's a world of illustrated sunshine out there. I think I hit the jackpot.
