I have been painting books for some time and find it interesting how constantly pursuing a subject means you discover different ways and different reasons to paint. My advice to any painter would be to find a subject, stick with it and grow with it.
I'm heading out for one last summer adventure that will last a week. After that it's back to reality and back to full-time painting. I'm actually looking forward to it.

Hi! Christopher Stott,
Chris said,” My advice to any painter would be to find a subject, stick with it and grow with it."
Thanks, for the advice...because I paint in the same style ("vein") as artist Georgia O'Keeffe, such as animal Skulls, Flowers, adobes, etc, etc, etc... In addition, I found myself moving more and more away from her style(modernism) and more toward abstract painting...ala Mark Rothko.
Once again,
Thanks, for sharing!

This is gorgeous, Christopher. Your work is amazing!
I don't know what to say, except your work is so real, it's unreal, in a good way! Wow!
As a bookstore owner, I particularly love your book paintings. This one's wonderful.
You have a beautiful site here and I wanted to leave you a comment to say hello ! Thank you so much for sharing it all and best wishes
Just found your blog through Carl, Chris. I love books, love the feel, the look--as well as the contents. You inspire others, I would imagine, to explore our own niche, whatever our artform--words, music, images. I'm just a beginner in painting, an exciting thing to be. I'm obsessed with New England stone walls. Now I feel as if that's not a bad thing to be or feel. Thank you for sharing words with your images.
Thank you for the kind comments, everyone. I appreciate them!
