To escape obsessive television enslavement after 9/11, I took to the woods long hours every day, bringing with me a portable campstool, a bottle of water, my journal and a pen. I sat. Sometimes I drew. Sometimes I wrote. But mostly I sat. Days passed this way. When I returned to my studio, I made a series of related painting. The book recounts the refuge found. The paintings fan out across the face of the accordion book. Journal entries and drawings fill the reverse side.
A woman took refuge in the woods from the troubles of the world. She sat by a stream where breeze stirred the yellow leaves and golden sun baked her to the bone.
