Kate Gorham
The Golden Button

Animals in Scarves.

 

In this collection, Kate has created a series of brightly colored acrylic paintings where these animals wear scarves.  You will find animals where they do not belong, eating things that they would not eat, dressed in clothing they would not wear, in climates they would not live in. This series is a fun colorful look at a fanciful world where animals may wear scarves. These pieces create a series of fun worlds with strange stories. 

Hope you enjoy them!

The Handwriting's on the Wall: New 'Handwriting Analysis' Helps Readers Explore Career Potential

 

Offering a fresh, new approach on handwriting analysis, author David DeWitt shows readers how to explore career options through graphology and personality awareness.

 

How an individual dots his I's and crosses his T's is indeed telling. In fact, handwriting can reveal much about how people think, feel and behave - and as "Handwriting Analysis: Discover Your Own Vocational/Career Potential" proves, it can also be a useful tool. The newly released self-help book is published by Outskirts Press.

 

Known as "brain writing," handwriting provides a graphic road map of the mind - if one knows how to read the signs. Author David J. DeWitt, a professional graphologist and a certified graphoanalyst, teaches the fundamentals of handwriting analysis to help his students learn about themselves and others. He has spent decades studying, analyzing and interpreting the handwriting of countless individuals, and lecturing publicly on handwriting analysis to organizations, clubs, schools and colleges. He helps people to understand themselves, their personal strengths and yes, even their weaknesses through the way they put pen to paper. "Handwriting Analysis" represents more than eight years of research in applying handwriting analysis to high school and college students across New England.

 

With this book, DeWitt offers a unique perspective not found in conventional books on graphology by linking handwriting analysis with professional satisfaction, and instructs the reader in the analysis of their own handwriting to help make the best career fit based on personality. Noting that it is common for individuals to labor a lifetime in occupations they dislike, the author offers up the book as a tool anyone can use to guide career choices that, in the end, will be more personally rewarding.

 

Mr. DeWitt will be selling his book :
