In A Flower Blooms: My Journey in a Landscape of Art, JoEl Vogt traces her lifelong relationship with Nature and her passion for painting. She has contemplated the good life, defined it for herself, and manifested her dream of deep immersion in wildlife and art. This 150-page book is filled with more than 50 full-color images of her views of the Ozarks, where she has captured the colorful land and sky in all seasons.
The art selections show her gradual progression from realist to impressionist, and ultimately expressive and conceptual art to capture the experience of Nature’s boundless energy. Her book also offers insights for defining and pursuing your own dreams, whatever they may be.
