(Gaal Shepherd's pastel interpretations of Vermont's peace...)
Gaal Shepherd's pastel interpretations of Vermont's peaceful and verdant landscape are beautiful, luminous, and by her own admission and intent, just a bit mysterious. This new book contains twenty-six handsome full-color reproductions of Gaal's artwork, revealing Vermont in every season of the year. Woven among the reproductions is the artist's essay detailing why she finds the hills, fields, forests, and people of her adopted state so compelling, and why she wants to share her appreciation of them.
