Living in a Dream: Bluff Country Offerings
Description
In Living in a Dream, Bluff Country Offerings, the esteemed premier edition of Lost Lake Folk Art books, Nancy and Dana have teamed-up once again to watch over the birds, as it were, to simultaneously create new works in-the-moment and reflect on the past, on their memories. The result is a study in counterpoint: Nancy's always lucid prose searching the dark, tangled timber for a spot of intense color, Dana's sharp, black-ink illustrations leaving the imagination to paint its own image on pure white backdrops.
