An Artist's View

I often read just for the sheer escape from reality. Most often that escape brings me right back to face ideas about growing into myself. I am a late bloomer. I find that I am learning much more in the sixth decade of my life than I did in the second.




Eating Fire and Drinking Water is set in a foreign, tropical place; yet one that I know never having been there. I find so many parallels with my life and with my concepts about life and art as I age that I can recommend this as some of the best escapist reading.

Art is about many things. This particular book has helped me explain me to myself. That is good. It will continue to illluminate the work of my hands.
