Beach Reading List

Here’s a list of recent art related books for potential beach reading:

1) Jack’s Notebook by Gregg Fraley about using a novel approach to creative problem solving.

An interview with the author and the type of creative process involved in his book is discussed on the Education Innovation blog. This book seems so innovative that I’m thinking about getting it for my 16 year old, Jackson — maybe he can even relate to the title (although we don’t call him Jack).

2) The Art of Creative Thinking by John Adair

Here’s a review of the key points in seven chapters on the Ku Tenk 2000 blog.

3) And finally, here’s an interesting summer reading list worth checking out on the Creative Liberty blog.

Besides taking a “working” vacation, I have some other pleaure reading to do as well but I thought these mentions might be helpful for not losing the creative spark while I get entrenched in the business aspect of my art.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
