Handmade Journal: Child in Grass Painting, Matte Laminated Cover or All Paper

This listing is for a compact 5x7 in. journal that is perfect for everyday use. The cover is a print made from my original acrylic painting titled 'Child in the Grass'. It is a whimsical painting of a child wondering at the shapes of the clouds. My journals are light weight and will fit nicely into a school backpack, briefcase, or suitcase. Take these books anywhere to remember special moments on a vacation, start writing a story or draw & capture that next painting.
