I recently came across a well-loved vintage copy of Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses and thought I'd turn a few of my favorite verses and illustrations into daily paintings. It's amazing that these were written well over a hundred years ago and are just as lovely today.

Thanks for looking!
