A painter and author of eleven other books, Atwill has lived in Santa Fe for many years. He has a house and studio on Cristobal Lane, where he painted the canvases illustrated in this book. Atwill writes about each painting in turn, why he painted it and from where the image originated. A number of them are scenes from his own garden, a courtyard between house and studio with apple trees, horsechestnuts, climbing roses, perennials and a rectangular plot of vegetables. He looks outside the north window by his easel for a continuing series of domestic landscapes through the seasons, as well as grander landscapes of New Mexico and scenes of the west.

Fifty-Three Paintings: The year 2017 in the studio

Like shards from an Anasazi pot, fragments of writing can describe the whole piece. Eleven selections are included, chapters from three novels and pages from eight stories. There is a long tale about a boy who wins sixteen lotteries in a row, inflaming entrants and targeting him for kidnap. An artist buys an Italianate house in California and moves in her bohemian friends and family, to the dismay of neighbors. Remembrances of past times in the counterintelligence world come back to haunt in several stories. A successful portrait painter takes the family to Bora Bora for a troubled season of art and obsession. A man in mid-life would like to forget his boyhood music lessons.

Literary

Sunstone Press

Graham Obermann is an established biographer of the Post-Impressionists. He is married to Celia Prosper, a modernist painter well-regarded by critics and collectors. As Obermann organizes a birthday party for Celia, looking after all the details, he describes in a single day the odd Prosper family and his attraction to his novelist brother-in-law Karl. Several significant events test all the characters in this family saga with subplots of many generations, and a new generation making its mark. Other books by Douglas Atwill, all from Sunstone Press, are "Why I Won't Be Going to Lunch Anymore," "The Galisteo Escarpment," "Imperial Yellow," "Creep Around the Corner," "The Oyster Shell Driveway," "Husband Memory Pickles," and "Douglas Atwill Paintings." Atwill lives in Santa Fe, painting New Mexico landscapes and gardens.
