This book was made possible by the generous support of friends, family, students, and colleagues, with

special thanks to James Maloney. To Ron Dalton, for his patience as my photographer. Many thanks are also

due to the Gage Academy of Art, whose encouragement in my role as an instructor over the last decade is

greatly appreciated. To all the artists who so graciously donated their paintings to this book project, thank

you. And most of all, to all my teachers, who inspired me with your own books and patient teaching, your
