It is with great pleasure and honor that I introduce, my idol, Ms. Evelyn Leavens.
Ms. Leavens is a well known artist that works in many mediums. Her talent is gigantic and you “dear reader” are in for a special treat. Ms. Leavens is known to many of the residents of basset hound town as the author and illustrator of the incredibly successful children’s book Boswell’s Life of Boswell. The book went to number 2 on the New York Times best seller list in 1958. You will now experience the shear enjoyment of her other art work that spans the decades of her 82 years.
You will see many of her works hanging all over this site. You can start with this Blog. View the video and then click on her website via my links page for the full show. We will be honored to feature many, many more of Ms. Leavens upcoming works.
I personally have in my collection Happy Hour.
I am in the process of buying another Boswell piece from Ms. Leavens.
May I present, my friend and idol, Ms. Evelyn Leavens.
The music was selected by myself. Since both the “Boss” and Ms. Leavens are both from NJ, I found it very fitting.

My Dad bought me a copy of The Life Of Boswell several years ago. How many copies are there out there?? I have mine displayed on a shelf in my den. How exciting to “meet” this woman through this blog.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Wow, what an incredible artist! I’ve been searching for Boswell’s Life of Boswell for the last 2 years. I had no idea Ms. Leavens talent was so far reaching.
Thanks for sharing these incredible works with us.
I do not have adequate words to express how amazing and inspiring this lady and her art are. The detail on many of the pieces is just exceptional. And you can tell she has a great sense of humor. I was completely blown away. And what a great movie! Thank you so much, Cat, for hosting this virtual exhibit!!!
What a wonderful show! Loved so many of the works–and her sense of humor and breadth of talent is inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Dear Cat, What a wonderful video!!!! You do such good work! I loved seeing all of Ms. Leavens’ work. All are absolutely beautiful, but Boswell is my favorite. How inspiring!!!

This was such a wonderful idea! I loved the virtual art exhibit. Mrs. Leaven’s talent goes beyond words! Of course I’m partial to the hounds, but all of her works show such deep emotion.

What a wonderful tribute to your friend! Ms. Leavens is an amazing artist– what a range of talent! Thanks for sharing Cat!– Leigh Ann and the Herrin Hounds, Pensacola, FL
What an amazing tribute… truly stirring. What an amazing talent – I can’t believe I have never seen any of the Boswell art before! What I wouldn’t give to have even the amount of talent Ms. Leavens has in her pinky toe – such a gifted artist. Thank you so much for introducing me to her art.
I’ve seen some of the Boswell art before but seeing Ms. Leavens’ florals was like receiving a Mother’s Day bouquet early. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video.
Truly wonderful video, you rock Cat. Ken , lemon Drop 7 Buster

Hi! I too am a HUGE fan of Evelyn Leavens–and avid admirer of Boswell. Please share with her my admiration, not only for her past work but her current pieces. I had no idea she had such a varied body of work–or that she was still so active in the art world. Kudos to her.
Thanks for sharing with the DD!!
Best,
Susan (of the mod squad)
Of course I will Susan. Ms. Leavens will be reading all of our comments. She is very touched by the video. She is off to the Metropolitan museum of Art today to view the Tiffany expo. Sounds like fun. Cat, Chaps and Emma
PS. Susan to answer your e-mail about happy hour. Evelyn has prints of this for sale. I have one and it is my most treasured piece of art work. It is huge and worth every cent. I understand you are e-mailing each other now. I cannot stress enough how incredible this print it. She does everything top notch. Cat, Chaps and Emma
Thank you for athis evening’s journey and memories!!!
Peace and Shalom,
Wendy
