From Art to Landscape
Author: W. Gary Smith
Publisher: Timber Press
ISBN: 0881929735
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Garden designers face some daunting questions: How do I begin the creative process? Where can I find design inspiration? How will I know if my design is successful? If you approach these questions like an artist, with an artist’s tools and ways of looking at the world, you will be able to design gardens that combine the unique character of a place with your innermost creative spirit. You’ll make inspiring gardens that have real meaning, for yourself as well as others. In this luminous volume, landscape architect and artist W. Gary Smith explores the various means that artists use—including drawing, painting, sculpture, meditation, poetry, and dance—to create personal connections with the landscape that enrich and inform garden design. Part 1 focuses on simple techniques that anyone can use to nurture creativity, unleash the imagination, and get ideas down on paper. Part 2 shows how these techniques have shaped actual design projects—with spectacular results. Throughout, the author’s friendly and encouraging voice removes the shroud of mystery surrounding the creative process and shows how even the least artistically inclined can tap into inner resources they never knew they had. Smith’s own exuberant sketches and bold paintings illuminate the path from art to landscape. Infectiously engaging and unfailingly inspiring, this eye-opening book deserves to be read and reread by anyone who aspires to master the rich and demanding art of garden design.

BOOK DESCRIPTION: Matt Callahan is a handsome guy, but with a terrible temper, what he considers the curse of his 'red haze'. His record includes being the best talent ever kicked off the football team, as well, more recently, an attack on his step-father with a baseball bat. At his summer job he witnesses a terrible accident and his quick action saves the life of a teen-age girl, convincing the town's aging and grumpy surgeon that Matt is something more than the town bad boy. But all Matt can see in his future is a juvenile conviction by a vindictive judge for the attack on his step-father. And now, assigned to a special class at the High School for the 'emotionally impaired', he attracts the attention of a drug runner and his partner, the sexy spoiled daughter of the judge who will decide his fate. Matt is trapped. The girl he saved following the accident is in love with him, the judge's daughter is determined to make trouble, and he is surrounded by a car thief, drug runner, and the persistent interest and attention of the old doctor who is determined to make a surgeon out of him...something Matt believes is so unlikely as to be impossible. But the danger and the anger are real. And on a fog-shrouded lake it will all be decided. Fight or die!!!
