About the Book
This is also a love story and a story of family and travel. In the words of artist Robert Henri, “All art that is worthwhile is a record of an intense life” Earl lived an intense, art-filled life. There was art in everything he did including painting, cooking, gardening and travel. There is also bold intensity in other aspects of life. Earl moved his family to France for a year despite not knowing much more about the country than he wanted to be where the Impressionists painted; certainly not the language. Earl the rebel also spent a year in jail - you'll have to read the book to find out why.
Earl spent over 50+ years painting and learning everything he could about art. This is his story as told by his widow. It contains hundreds of photos, a small percentage of the thousands he left behind after his death in 2013.
This book tells the story in words and pictures of the progression and growth of an artist over a period of over 40 years.

About the Creator
Hi and thank you for checking out my latest book. A little about me - I have lived in California as a photographer for over 30 years, where I taught photography for 17 at California State University. During that time I was inspired by traveling during school breaks, especially to France where I lived for a year -- long ago. More recently I'm retired and a newlywed - who said you can't find love again after 60! I'm living with my wonderful new husband in his hometown, a city new to me that I'm falling in love with - Chicago. We also sometimes run away from the cold to Florida. Along with my other books like Photo Encaustic Art: A how-to book I've just completed a new book about my late husband, Earl Boley and his art. He died leaving behind 50 years worth (thousands!) of amazing paintings. If you have any thoughts or comments about any of my work I'd love to hear from you.
