More DescriptionWhat source does an artist use for inspiration? What inspires the idea for a painting? Is it a mood, a setting or a feeling? And how does the interplay of photography and painting relate to the artistic process as a whole?A book for art and nature lovers, Points of Inspiration is a personal story about an artist's journey. Steeped in the art world for more than 40 years, acclaimed contemporary landscape painter/photographer LeeAnn Brook explores the process of creating her vivid work. How did the landscapes of Italy, France, and her California home influence the painting's spirit and palette? How can a seemingly unrelated photo spark the creative thought for a painting? And consider which happens first: the painting itself or the inspiration for the painting.Featuring a foreword by award-winning writer Molly Fisk, the book demonstrates Brook's love for the landscape with over 130 images of her paintings and photography throughout the book. Accompanied by her personal story of how one medium has inspired another, the book offers glimpses into her studio and process as well as her personal vision.Points of Inspiration is a thoughtful and nourishing conversation about creativity, strolling among beautiful works of art with the artist herself.
