Impossibly red tomatoes picked fresh from the garden…A chance pose by an impatient child model…The simple view through a weathered door…
These are just a few of the “sparks” behind the more than 120 striking paintings on these pages. Captions offer insight from the artists themselves who share the approaches they use to bring their visions into focus.
The late Henry Fukuhara painted the scene on page 90 when he was 96 years old, completely blind and bedridden, a profound testament to the power of an artist’s vision.
