I'll admit that the idea is too sophisticated to have come from my own walnut brain, including the sign on the cart, but I'll take some credit for the execution of it all. Thanks!
And to think those carts don’t have shocks…
Clever girl, that “real lady librarian”! Very strong piece! What I really dig, as Millie squirms on her “ready-made”, is the sly look in her eye as she regards the viewer. The ambiguity there is perfect…is the viewer welcome or not…does she want help, or to be left alone? Perfectly done! Gives the “wait list” sign added meaning too. Solid job on the rendering of the figure as well, and the composition works well, especially with the way her hair both flows off the edge of the Bristol (implying she is slowly scooting to the right) and simultaneously flips back up to the left, leading the viewer’s eye back into the piece. Sophisticated!
Guess I should've stayed in school!

Best use of a library book cart I've seen! If only I'd thought of it in my university days when I worked part time putting away books. Those stacks can pretty pretty private at times...
So I hear!

The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty is pretty good...
You know me well.

Or at least get a picture book to look at. ;-)
Hell, I might even read a book.

I'd go to the library more often if I ran into that!
