Thanks Jan. I'll look out for the book and see if I can spot a good, cheap one. I trawl 2nd-hand bookstores, but the one thing that doesn't come in very often are Art books.
I think that people give more weight to a book full of images than one filled with words. It's like, I've read this, so I can dispose of it. Or, more likely, I didn't read this so I'm unlikely to read it in the future, so I'll get rid of it. But images? I imagine them thinking: "I'm sure I'll look at this again sometime..." Even though they rarely give them a second glance.

Thanks, Jan. I have little hope for our public libraries carrying a book like this. But, then again, you never know!
I'll keep looking 2nd hand. That will still be the best.

Thank you Jan for your comments on my 2 WS25 paintings. I thought yours and mine were very similar. So beautiful back to you too. smile
Thanks for sending me, unwittingly, on an Edgar Payne search. His paintings are beautiful, especially his brushwork.
Thank you for viewing and the kind words
