The publication of my second book — The Landscape Painter’s Workbook — grabbed most of the attention in 2022, but it’s worth noting that this year was also my first book’s 13th birthday. With over 60,000 copies in print, “Landscape Painting” has been a best-selling book on the subject for over a decade. It has been called the “new classic of landscape art” and has graced the bookshelves at art museums in both the U.S. and Europe. A Chinese language edition was published in 2017.
I’ve received hundreds of positive reviews over the years. This review, from Don Demers, one of the leading landscape painters in the nation, is perhaps my favorite:
Absolutely the finest book I’ve ever read on landscape painting! That list includes Edgar Payne, Andrew Loomis, John Carlson and Birge Harrison. Yours is better than all of them. – Don Demers
