Artist and writer Kimberlee Maselli has written a second book featuring a collection of paintings of North Carolina.  Kim states, "In this book you will be treated to a magnificent selection of both studio and plein air works by nationally recognized and locally renowned artists.  From their personal comments you will discover what attracted them to various scenes while learning about locations throughout the state.  You may have had the opportunity to view photo books and tourist guides featuring North Carolina, but there is nothing as enlightening as seeing the locations you love or have always wanted to visit through an artist’s eye.  The artists’ view adds a whole new dimension and enhances our ability to appreciate our surroundings.  The paintings within these pages remind us of the extraordinary beauty that surrounds us every day.”

Kim invited me to submit paintings for the book and I am very pleased that she chose to include eight of them!  To see all of them and the amazing works from the other artists, you can find the book at select independent bookstores, galleries, and museums across the state.
