"Painters of Utah's Canyons and Deserts"   NEWLY RELEASED

 

"These deserts and canyons take us back to a time when the breathtaking drama and power of the earth were an endless gift to be taken for granted. When I look at such beautiful paintings, I'm no longer reassured. Instead, i am filled with a fear of loss. This book is a reminder of what we must preserve, the glorious, mystifying western landscape of the United States of America." -Diane Keaton
