Jeanne Carbonetti's book is an outstanding piece of literature that will inspire artists and would- be artists. I do not consider myself to be creative at all, but would now consider looking into that aspect of my life. Her prose is written so beautifully that it inspires you to consider your own inner artistic abilities. The paintings shown in the book are absolutely breathtaking. Her talents are evident. I am inclined to visit Vermont to see her gallery. It would be a worthwhile trip. Her book is not just a book about painting, it is a book about life. Very inspirational.

Format:Paperback
This book provides a fascinating and groundbreaking description of the elements of human nature which direct and spark our creative selves. Through the use of illustrative examples from the author's own remarkable art, as well as the works of others, both professional and amateur, she establishes a clear link between three elements of our creative natures, which she identifies as Logical Mind, Heart Mind and Body Mind. Then, the manner in which these three forms of thinking combine to form our creative skills, or can be accessed to enhance these skills are beautifully presented. The book is both a visual and literary treat, and would be found fascinating by artists of all skill levels and experiences, as well as anyone curious about developing personal creativity in any endeavor.

for so long art has been has jeanne put it, "left Brained" very logical, in an attempt to teach art so everyone can understand it. but what these artists, teachers, are forgetting is that creativty is a mystery. art is about feelings. even if the piece is very abstract, its still trying to in a sense "say" something. this book gave me a voice on how to explain myself as an artist to teachers who i have had who lean toward a logical kind of art that has shape but no feeling, and does not allow for differeces in style. i love this book, i plan to go into art education and this well definitely be a reference
