Through a Painter's Brush
A Year on Campobello Island

by Michael Chesley Johnson

"I'm proud to announce that my new book is in print at last.  I know some of  you have been anticipating this book almost as much as I have!  I've spent the last year painting all over this Canadian island and across the border in neighboring Lubec, Maine.  My book is a compilation of the paintings and my observations on the painting process as they relate to this grand adventure.

"I wanted to write a book that offered useful advice without ending up as just one more art instruction book. I also wanted a book that offered a bounty of paintings for the collector's eye without ending up as just one more 'coffee table' book with very little textual reference.  So, I've created this book to please both student and collector.

"Through a Painter's Brush has 140 pages filled with over 150 images -- 55 oils and 20 pastels of maritime scenery complete with detail shots and illustrative photos, two demonstrations in oil and pastel, and, of course, my meditations on plein air painting."

Through a Painter's Brush
includes:

• Essays on the Painting Process
• Tips for Painters
• Michael's Materials & Process
• Two Demonstrations
• 75 Paintings Plus Closeups of Detail
