“Shhh! I’m Reading” is an ode to everyone who would rather disappear into a good book than chat about the weather. A vintage oil painting of a young woman reading, painted over with bold pink brushstrokes declaring the obvious: “Shhh! I’m Reading.” Classical art meets modern attitude — a statement piece for book lovers who know that silence and stories are the best way to spend time.
