Maryjo Koch I

My first book from Maryjo Koch was "Seed, Leaf, Flower, Fruit,"
but as soon as I saw how beautiful the illustrations were, I added...

Pond, Lake, River, Sea;
Bird, Egg, Feather, Nest; and
Dragonfly, Beetle, Butterfly, Bee.

The watercolors and journal style of format are exceptional, what I
haven't appreciated until now, is the artist's variations in hand-lettering...

 Unique and thoughtful merging of content and font.

Many of the letters reflect back to classical scripts,

Others are just fun and sparkly new.

I wish my science textbooks had been this pretty,
and filled with interesting information!

More by this artist tomorrow.
