"Delightful book" I'm not a friend or even acquaintance of the author/artist, but I want to create a book myself and was browsing the art books to see different approaches. This one stood out, and I just want to rave about the beauty of the artwork, and the quality of the reproductions.
"Paint Your Soul" It makes you want to pick up a brush and start putting paint on canvas whether you're a painter or not. Too often we let our lives become black and white and a little boring as we let daily routine turn into a rut. This book inspires you to make a splash with creativity and color -- just for the joy of it. The paintings are so vivid and lush I smile every time I open it.
