Extremely minimal index desperately detracts from the future usefulness of this book! That is a big problem. However the fun happy pictures lighten the load of learning and keep you from getting buried in seriousness.

Excellent molecule drawings help explain the concepts.

Etienne Gilson helps one understand St. Thomas Aquinas's metaphysics of god.

I was so impressed with her work that I have been imitating it for years now ever sense I found this book. It uses many layers to create a festival of colors, one peaking through another, sometimes in slight ways sometimes full on, sometimes via glazing. It is a celebration of animals also. The book mentions that you have a completely different experience of an animal painting when the eye of the creature is looking at you. I am wearing the book out from years of re-looking.

Inspirational paintings fill the book, break all the rules of color and conventions of perspective; approaching cubism. Simply brilliant work. I have never seen any work like this either, she has stepped out into another world and it is a colorful and cheerful one. This is a book you get to drink. I have the sense that her technique involves her listening in to intuition or "need" to see a color of this here or that shape there. I was so happy looking on.
