I am now offering giclee reproductions of my work as 8" x10" giclee prints! I've had several requests from patrons to offer giclees, and I'm pleased to announce the introduction of my new line of prints. These are high resolution, archival quality prints, printed on premium satin finish photo paper with genuine Epson inks, rated to last up to 92 years.

My line of 8" x 10" giclee prints are attractively priced at $24.95 with free shipping in the continental US. Go to my web site or my Etsy shop (pattyabaker.etsy.com) to view the full line of prints available.

Quote of the Day
"We think that by protecting ourselves from suffering that we are being kind to ourselves. The truth is, we only become more fearful, more hardened, and more alienated. We experience ourselves as being separate from the whole. This separateness becomes like a prison for us, a prison that restricts us to our personal hopes and fears and to caring only for the people nearest to us. Curiously enough, if we primarily try to shield ourselves from discomfort, we suffer. Yet when we don't close off and we let our hearts break, we discover our kinship with all beings. His Holiness the Dalai Lama describes two kinds of selfish people: the unwise and the wise. Unwise selfish people think only of themselves, and the result is confusion and pain. Wise selfish people know that the best thing they can do for themselves is to be there for others. As a result, they experience joy."

"The greatest obstacle to connecting with our joy is resentment."

"Resentment, bitterness, holding a grudge prevent us from seeing and hearing and tasting and delighting."

"Thich Nhat Hanh, in his Guide to Walking Meditation, begins by talking about how everyone carries around this burden, and if you want to put it off, if you want to lay it down, you can do it. You can connect with the joy in your heart."

"Acknowledging the preciousness of each day is a good way to live, a good way to reconnect with our basic joy."
