Mystic Seaport is a new paperback art book by Glen River of Connecticut. This stunning collection transports us into a mythic sense of place and time. The paintings are vivid portraits capturing the essence of the Seaport. The artist believes reading text and seeing pictures are very different states of awareness. To arrive at a portrait of place, as River describes it, the process of seeing must be uninterrupted. Therefore the only text is a brief biography of the artist on the last page. He feels a mythic connection to a special place is a natural bond with self and nature. River visited the Seaport with artist friend Brechin Morgan. Morgan is a sailor who circumnavigated the world solo in his craft "otter." The 48 Full Color pages are packed with eye popping paintings. Published by Lulu.com and distributed by Ingram, it will be available through book stores via special order for $ 24.95 in September 2008.
