The following list of books is where I have acquired much of my knowledge for the subject matter I paint. For me they are seminal books where acquiring such knowledge by any other means would take a nomadic lifetime and them some. Some of these books may be out of print or lacking a Library of Congress # etc. etc.

Some of the best business advice I have ever been given is to read at least ten books a year. I do. Sorry, no picture books, that is were you just have to get out and do.
