Book excerpt: The war in Iraq empties the small town of Tumalo, Oregon, of men—of fathers—leaving their sons to fight among themselves. But the boys' bravado fades at home when, alone, they check e-mail again and again for word from their fathers at the front. Often from fractured homes and communities, the young men in these breathless stories do the unthinkable to prove to themselves—to everyone—that they are strong enough to face the heartbreak in this world. Set in rural Oregon with the shadow of the Cascade Mountains hanging over them, these stories bring you face-to-face with a mad bear, a house with a basement that opens up into a cave, a nuclear meltdown that renders the Pacific Northwest into a contemporary Wild West. Refresh, Refresh by Benjamin Percy is a bold, fiery, and unforgettable collection that deals with vital issues of our time.

Download or read book Pen Ink written by James Hobbs and published by Frances Lincoln. This book was released on 2019-06-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pen & Ink is packed with page after page of bite-sized creative sketching tips and accessible advice, and offers aspiring artists the freedom to dip in and out for practical information or flick through for fresh inspiration and ideas. Exploring around 200 pieces of artwork by young contemporary artists, Pen & Ink highlights and examines the different techniques, qualities, and effects relating to each piece. Organized into chapters according to the technique exemplified (e.g.water soluble, mixed media) artwork is featured large and luscious, accompanied by extended captions, insightful tips, and practical advice. A detailed index at the front of the book also groups the paintings according to three main categories: Principles (e.g. composition), Media, Type of sketch (e.g. abstract), and Subject (e.g. nature). Listing each page where similar examples may be found, this category index enables the reader to easily identify and cross reference subjects that have been painted in similar styles. Throughout the book, useful information and practical tips are provided on a wide range of topics such as tone, perspective, color, and much more besides. Readers are encouraged to discover the various ways in which similar subjects and styles are executed by different artists, while also being inspired to use the tips in the book as a way of building on their existing skills. Offering a bold, refreshing change from other run-of-the-mill art books, Pen & Ink adopts the unique approach of accessing practical information via the images, focusing on the way subjects can be treated using a whole range of different drawing techniques, rather than looking at how to master one single style. This gives the reader a much wider skill set—allowing them to capture or create the essence of any image in a variety of different ways.

No-one knows he is homeless and caring for his alcoholic father – and no-one knows he’s the infamous street artist Xavier, whose portraits are painted all over town. Dylan’s only glimmer of hope is the chance to win a place in his dream art school. It’s his one chance to escape, and his last chance at a life away from the streets. But Dylan didn’t count on Libby Green. When the overachieving do-gooder catches him graffitiing, Dylan is sure his art-school dreams are over. Instead, Libby offers him a bargain: help her with an art project, in exchange for her silence. Libby Green is not what Dylan expected. And the longer they spend together, the harder it is to guard the truth of his life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louise McAvoy lives an ordinary life: ordinary job, ordinary boyfriend. She’s grown so used to it that she’s forgotten how dull ordinary can be, until the day she sees classical pianist Jennifer Bellerose at a recital. The beautiful performance unlocks the artistic inspiration Louise thought she’d lost upon leaving art school three years ago. Inspired, Louise begins to paint again, her trademark rich abstract pieces bursting forth, and her life turns around and upside down in more ways than one. A chance meeting leads Jennifer and Louise to form a friendship and connection that comes to a head when Jennifer asks Louise to paint her. Their connection and chemistry is something unexpected and terrifying to Louise—but if she lets it, it could be something beautiful.
Download or read book Painting the Woods written by Deborah Paris and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-11 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When first-time author and artist Deborah Paris stepped into Lennox Woods, an old-growth southern hardwood forest in northeast Texas, she felt a disruption that was both spatial and temporal. Walking the remnants of an old wagon trail past ancient stands of pine, white oak, elm, hickory, sweetgum, maple, hornbeam, and red oak, she felt drawn into a reverie that took her back to “the beginning, both physically and metaphorically.” Painting the Woods: Nature, Memory and Metaphor explores the experience of landscape through the lens of art and art-making. It is a place-based meditation on nature, art, memory, and time, grounded in Paris’s experiences over the course of a year in Lennox Woods. Her account unfolds through the twin arcs of the changing seasons and her creative process as a landscape painter. In the tradition of Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, narrative passages interweave with observations about the natural history of Lennox Woods, its flora and fauna, art history, the science of memory, Transcendentalist philosophy, the role of metaphor in creative work, and even loop quantum gravity theory. Each chapter explores a different aspect of the forest and a different step in the art-making process, illuminating our connection to the natural world through language, comprehension of time, and visual depictions of the landscape. The complex layers of the forest and Paris’s journey through it emerge as metaphors for the larger themes of the book, just as the natural world underpins the art-making drawn from it. Like the trail that winds through Lennox Woods, memory and time intertwine to provide a path for understanding nature, art, and our relationship to both.
