Coastal Reflections: Pastel Landscapes 42 pages, 34 colored plates softbound $31.95 + shipping and tax (if applicable)
This is a collection of Jean's paintings from the south coast of Massachusetts, primarily from her home town of Mattapoisett. The book was published in conjunction with a show of work, held in Marion, MA June-July 2009
Jean is currently working on a book for pastel artists based on her experience of teaching pastel. She hopes to have it available in late 2011.

Charlie Products
For cat lovers, there are special cards and books!
Life with Charlie Cards
Jean produced the Life with Charlie series of paintings during the winter of 2010 after breaking her arm! These are fanciful images of an ageless woman and cat that are quite different from her other work. They make wonderful cards! These and the other Charlie cards are available from Glimmerglass Art as a set of 5 cards ($12) or individually.
Charlie in Pink
Charlie in Blue
The Charlie Series, Books 1 - 4
These are books that Jean produced for John's grandchildren over the past two years. The kids really like them. There are four books:
There's a Cat in the Sink
There's a Cat in My Chair
There's a Cat on His Back
There's a Cat in a Rug
These are primarily photos of Charlie (a very beautiful tuxedo cat!) with Dr. Seuss-type wording, appropriate for small children, but enjoyable for all ages. The books are about 12-14 pages each. They are printed on matte photo paper and enclosed in plastic sleeves. To make them more affordable and save on shipping costs, they are being made available without a binder. Jean recommends using the small 1” “better binder” that is available in multiple colors at Staples. They are rubber and stand up well. There is a plastic sleeve for the cover page that is included with each book.
The cost of a book is: $15 each; two for $25. To purchase, contact Jean.
Reproductions
