Excerpt from The Photographer's Garden: Capturing the Healing Beauty of Camellias and Life READER'S JOY ?????????? it is so beautiful "WOW! I want this in hardcopy, it is so beautiful. It is gorgeous, I love the way the author has entered Van Gogh's mind (so to speak), and given life to his thoughts on color, movement, emotion, and life in general. There is such joy and wonder as he paints, and at times a whiff of sadness and even feelings of isolation, but the joy of his paintings are an emotional celebration of his love for his art." ?????????? A Celebration of Resilience and Creativity "Every chapter resonated deeply with me, especially the reflections on flowers thriving after the rain. The combination of Vincent van Gogh's legacy with the author's own insights is brilliant. It's a book that encourages you to bloom, no matter where you are in life." ??????????

It's equal parts meditation, art lesson, and love letter to the natural world. Truly a must-read for anyone seeking inspiration and peace."
