I bought this in the greeting card form. I have been purchasing cards from Fine Art America for two or three years. Covid might have been some of the reason for looking for cards on the internet. Shops were closed. The main reason I buy cards from FAA is because I got tired of looking for cards at the usual card shops. I could find cards (sometimes) that looked good on the outside but the verses were terrible or it was the other way around...terrible on the outside but maybe a decent verse inside. I pick cards from FAA that fit with the occasion. I figure I can write something on the inside as good as any card company could. I wouldn't buy these cards if I didn't think they were wonderful. The cards are beautiful and excellent quality and the envelopes are equality as good. I am glad I can make a copy of what I've bought so I can keep track of who gets what card. I don't want to send the same card to someone twice. In this case, the card is going to someone for Mother's Day.

"Lessons to Last a Lifetime" was created from artist Linda Simon with an intended nostalgic feel. The little toe head girl reading the book "Little Women" has a likeness of Ms. Simon's niece, McKenna. This school room resembles one that Ms. Simon's Grandmother Light had attended, and was located about 2 miles up the hill from Linda's childhood home. She remembers seeing it when she would ride her bike out in the country. The small old building had fallen into disrepair, there wasn't much of a roof left and the paint was hardly visible. A big old oak tree had fallen down around it,making it hard to see, camouflaged by tall weeds. It was kind of a scary place until my Grandmother told me it was the School she went to as a child. Her bright smiling eyes told me all I needed to know as she reminisced about a time gone by. The town saved the rural one room school house that held a small group of children of all ages. People chipped in and moved the school into town, where there were other...
Art played a big role for Ms. Simon very early on in her life. Linda made use to all that was offered in High School, she took Mechanical drawing, a two year trade school commercial art program, and almost triple majored in Art. Her artist influences include Norman Rockwell, Edgar Degas, Renoir and Nicolas Poussin's "Adoration of the Shepherds". Linda has quality, Contemporary Fine Art based on the enduring aesthetic principles of the old masters, using faces of her family, pets, and dear friends holding hints of Linda's life. Ms. Simon works predominately in non-traditional oils(non-toxic), incorporating pure pigments in her glazing, she also is accomplished in paper mach, clay, charcoal, color pencil, scratch board, pastels, ceramics,...
