"There can be more to life than meets the eye..." The incredibly talented writer and artist, Diana Thomas, shares the world through her lens in Simple Beauty-a diary-style book designed to help people slow down, seek, listen, and discover a deep appreciation of everyday life. Readers become passengers alongside the author as she transports them on a journey through the seasons and immerses them into her artistic world. Diana shares journal entries and sketches she has kept for over 30 years; through words and wondrous illustrations, she offers glimmers of joy in simple moments. She eloquently captures deer grazing on a hillside...and reveals beautiful neutral earth tones as the world transforms into Fall. Diana's writings speak with tenderness about grief after the loss of a child...and hope in a world surrounded with unseen beauty. It's an excursion-filled with words that stir the senses-along with paintings that will leave a lasting impression on your soul.
