A full color ebook featuring 50 favorite paintings from museums across the US. Immerse yourself in dozens of unique and powerful stories.
A visit to an art museum does not have to be a history lesson. Appreciating a painting is not reserved for a cultured few. For many people, a visit to an art museum can feel like a tiring cultural duty. The visual arts, however, have the potential to be as thrilling to experience and as personally moving as your favorite movies. Get ready to experience an innovative yet intuitive approach to enjoying art!
In this book, I will introduce you to five powerful works of art and teach you how to experience them like you would a great movie or novel. You will learn how to "read" an artwork; how to bring static images to life; how to connect your life to the lives of the characters in the art; and how to create for yourself a museum experience that will thrill and inspire you. You will never look at the visual arts the same way.
Publication date: 2010. Length: 80 pages.

For over 15 years I've been sharing art with museum tour audiences using the distinctively powerful Touching the Art approach. Now, the 50 best of those art experiences are gathered in a book that you can share with friends and family at your coffee table.
A Selection of 50 Amazing Artworks
In Stories in Paint, you get 50 beautiful and intriguing artworks, guiding questions to help in your own immersion into the works, and my in-depth “readings” of each painting. It will feel like you’re coming on a museum tour with me.
An Innovative Digital Component
Each artwork in the book features an individual (clickable) QR code that takes you directly to two digital components:
1) A High-Resolution, Zoomable image of the painting that will allow you to see some of the important details that help tell the story.
2) The audiobook of the text. This will make it easier to enjoy looking at the artwork while listening to my guiding questions and my “reading.”
