Pamela Allen Pre-Release Review of E-book
Many thanks to Pamela Allen, busy artist and teacher, for this lively pre-release review of Art, Nature, Creativity, Life:
I was struck with the beauty of your life in general and the kind of things you draw to the viewer’s attention. All everyday perhaps, but an enormous connection to those of us who may have forgotten (temporarily) the many small joys in life that add up to happiness and contentment.
Your acute observation of your surroundings and nature is inspiring. There WAS a time I too would look closely at the unfolding of a plant, or the patterns of snow. I realize reading your book that I have allowed the world to be too much with me in the latter years and your pages have inspired me to once again look for the small pleasures in life.
I not only enjoyed reading about events in your life, but find it really helpful as an artist to see how others translate their experiences into their creative life. On the more practical side, glimpses of your working space and works in progress makes me feel part of something bigger than just working alone in my studio. And your photos are wonderful. Hell, I say to myself, digital photography has revolutionized the photo and why haven’t I taken full advantage of it?
Art, Nature, Creativity, Life will be released in October with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the American Cancer Society. Here is more information.
