On This Page

Description

"Here is the world of widow's walks and white picket fences, schooners and sloops, book straps and sailor suits, carousels and striped awnings, quaint, inviting verandahs and window boxes bursting with blossoms. Welcome to the art of Paul Landry." "Paul Landry's romantic imagery re-creates the not-too-distant past - familiar enough to recognize, yet distant enough to be part of our collective memory and imagination. The Captain's Garden is a beautiful rural and seafaring world, sojourning show more into a life of simple pleasures: bending gently to choose bouquets at the market, wandering home in a horse-drawn carriage, or running along the top of an orchard's stone wall." "Come with renowned artist Paul Landry on a colorful journey through his childhood celebrations, tall fish-tales and nostalgic adventures. In this beautiful volume you'll find your own memories, too."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved show less
