In Blue Mountains: An Artist's Return to America's First Wilderness
- Used Book in Good Condition
A picture book for all ages from painter Thomas Locker!

â‚¬Å“Most of all, he thanked the wilderness for teaching him to see in a new way.â‚¬Â

In Blue Mountains is about the love of nature and the importance of beauty. It tells the story of an artist who sets out to explore wilderness and discovers a new way of seeing. Bewildered at first by the profusion of nature â‚¬â€¢ There are so many leaves, he could never paint them all! â‚¬â€¢ Gradually, he learns to see its wholeness and to trust his feelings. As he does so, he embarks on an adventure of learning: about light and shadow, the way color changes through the day, and how looking at nature leads to a new understanding of himself and the world.

This illuminated story is set in Americaâ‚¬s first wilderness, the Kaaterskill Clove in Upstate New York, made famous by the Hudson River School of painters â‚¬â€¢ many of whose pictures are reflected in this book. Thomas Lockerâ‚¬s In Blue Mountains is a personal, deeply moving testament to the power of beauty and art to nurture our childrenâ‚¬s natural love of the world. Indeed, it can inspire childlike wonder in people of all ages.

In Blue Mountains is a wonder-filled book that makes a great gift for both children and adults. It contains 13 full-page, color reproductions of the artistâ‚¬s paintings of Kaaterskill Clove and the beautiful, blue Catskill Mountains.
