In this charming book, he describes his travels throughout the United States in pursuit of his work, illustrating his adventures with his own paintings painted as he went. At the same time, he brings the reader into his life as a creative artist, discussing his views on choosing a location to paint, and what he hopes to accomplish in his work, and shares a number of interesting episodes from his peripatetic life, describing the people he has met, and the sights he has seen.
