One of the ways I tried to do this was through the use of quotes by people who had a much better grasp of the English language. With out further ado, here are the pieces paired with the quotes I picked.

Prints are available! Visit my Etsy store! It's under construction at the moment, I'll be adding more to it but I've got all of the matted 8 x 10 prints available. The prints turned out perfect and I couldn't be more pleased with the quality. They were the best seller of opening night. We sold out quickly of several but more are on the way!

Your quote-and-painting parings were a brilliant idea, and I'm quite certain that if I'd been able to go to your show, they would have brought tears to my eyes.
So beautiful. Marvelous!
I love this sentence:
The tale is a lie; what it tells is true.
;-) Believe Cody! Nice pics! As I told you, take care!
Pretty sure C. S. Lewis wins the 20th century.
Eeek. I'm aflutter, as I've got The Rabbit Room bookmarked, and you bookmarked... and suddenly worlds collided. I've just been devouring loads of Lewis and Tolkien bios, etc. Your work right now dovetails wonderfully with what I have been reading.
It's fun when little things like that happen. Your work is really, really beautiful. I love what Andrew Peterson wrote about you.
Thank you for a glimpse!
I love those tales because I think that it is so good to the kids, I have a lot of similar stories in my house and my children always say !please read a little story before sleep! 22dd
Little doubt, the dude is completely fair.
