Description

Here is a coloring book for those who crave detail and big, bold colors. These illustrations are small snapshots of both public and private gardens or tiny corners of fascinating city plantings from New Zealand and Guatemala to the US and Europe. Those who love to garden or simply appreciate gardens will enjoy using their markers or crayons to create their own versions of these gardens. Illustrations are hand-drawn referencing photos I've taken during our travels. The book is mainly for grownups who love to color but also for kids who enjoy detail and the challenges of coloring gardens and cityscapes.

About the Author

Sandy Baker has always loved to draw, having begun as a kid by taking "drawing lessons" from Jon Gnagy in television's early days with his "Learn to Draw" kit. Gnagy died in 1981, but his TV lessons using charcoal pencils and kneaded erasers made an indelible mark on Sandy's creative side. Developing this adult coloring book evolved from her love of gardens and gardening, photography, and drawing. This will be the third book she's illustrated, including the children's The Dead Butterflies Diary and Color My Garden in English and Spanish. Sandy spent 16 years as a Sonoma County Master Gardener and is currently president of Redwood Writers, the largest of 22 branches in the California Writers Club. Sandy divides her time writing, gardening, reading, and traveling. She lives in Northern California with her husband in a 1924 house whose gardens she's attempting to turn into a mini-Monet scene. Her other books include a thriller, The Tehran Triangle; a middle grade collection of short stories, Adventures of the Hotel Sisters; and five other gardening books for children about 5-9 years old: Mrs. Feeny and the Grubby Garden Gang, Zack's Zany Zucchiniland, Howie's Hungabird Dilemma, Gai's Go-Away-Come-Back Garden, and Three Sisters Garden.
