Following 20 years in the business, Gorrell closed her art gallery in 2004 and now works as an independent artist, instructor, author, and promoter of the arts in West Virginia. Designed for readers with little or no previous experience working with oils, her hands-on text contains basic information about oil painting materials and techniques, followed by ten step-by-step demonstration lessons for painting a variety of landscapes, from a sunset sky to a valley farmland, ocean view, rolling hills, and willow pool. Illustrated throughout with full color photographs. No subject index.
