Even if we've never been to the places that watercolorist Shelly Reeves Smith portrays in her paintings, the comfortable elements she artfully includes makes us feel right at home. From a cozy reading nook filled with feathery pillows to a breezy patio where bees bumble from flower to flower, her work evokes a vivid sense of place that blurs the line between memory and imagination.
A different piece of art by Shelly Reeves Smith brightens each of the 54 weekly pages of the "The Seasons of Friendship 2012 Weekly Wall Calendar." Twelve monthly pages include a handy year-at-a-glance that extends below the weekly pages so it's always easy to reference.
