Email from Bob about the Jim Reynolds book, The Landscapes of Jim Reynolds:

Like everyone I too admired Jim and his wonderful talent. I am 56 years old andtrying to become a painter. I have his book Traildust and I would love to gethis landscapes book. Please do you have a copy I can buy?

Response from Sheila Cottrell:

Thank you for your inquiry. I spoke with Claggett-Rey Gallery and we are trying to ‘find’ two hundred copies of Jim’s book that I thought were being shipped to Claggett-Rey. Hopefully this will be resolved soon. We’re also discussing doing some ‘print on demand’ copies of his book. Perhaps if you check back in a couple months this will be resolved. Sheila

Reply from Bob:

Ms. Cottrell, just wanted to thank you again for responding to me yesterdayabout Jim Reynolds. I will cross my fingers that a copy of his landscapes willcome available.Would you mind if sometime I asked you to tell me a little more about yourexperience with him? I have scoured the horizon for anything about him butexcept for the short bio in AskArt etc I have seen little other than what youhave mentioned about some of his advice or thoughts about painting. You knowthings like did he do en plein air, did he have a large pallet, did he like touse a painting knife, etc. I loved it when you said that he had mentionedtexture and color were what really got attention. That was a small glimpse intothis wonderful talent. I think you are the last link to this great artist forthe rest of us to learn from. Maybe you would consider writing something aboutyour time under his training. From your art you are a master as well.Just some thoughts. Again thanks for responding and I apologize if I have been a nuisance. Best regards,Bob
