My Book, ART AND COURAGEby `johnpaulthornton

Traditional Art / Paintings / Portraits

"ART AND COURAGE: Stories To Inspire The Artist-Warrior Within"
By John Paul Thornton

By Fire Opal publishing copyright 2009 160 pages
ISBN# 978-0-98195-731-9

This book is about us.
I wrote it because I got fed up with the old story that artists are incapable of affecting the real world. I wrote "Art And Courage" not just for when we are feeling strong and grand, but also for when life unfolds with its whole agenda and we question why we are alive. It is filled with true stories of real artists who overcame fear.

You can order your own copy today, directly from the distributor, Atlas Books. They have a 1-800 number and can take your order, or you may purchase it online. It's really easy. Just click here: [link]

price: $12.95 plus tax and shipping

I also have a carton of advanced copies that just arrived at my studio. Note me, and I will send you a personally autographed copy while they last. I am excited to share this with you because many of you inspired it.

(The actual publishing date is November 2009, so this is your chance to get a pre-release copy, ahead of anyone else.)

i love your work and i have never used a pallette knife before but i am looking forward to trying this style. I'm doing A level art and have chosen to study narrative pieces tied with different portrait techniques, up until now i was stuck on who to study next but you've given me inspiration. thank you. There is soo much warmth and life in your paintings, you bring them to life and make them more personal to people. I cannot begin to imagine what it must feel like to lose someone without the clarity of life or death but your paintings can't help but touch and i feel help in some way, so keep doing them

I was unable to open the entire note. I was wondering if I could pay with paypal. I would love to read your book.

I don't know if I'll ultimately buy it, but it's a book I need, so I'll put it on my radar.

~sarahredhead Aug 22, 2010

I am one of those artists who is changing the world - albeit on the tiny scale of the town in which we live. I have talent for a reason! I cannot wait to read your book. Bravo!!!!!!!

beautiful.

you know constantly, and since I've been like 14 or 15, I've always wanted to believe taht, although I'm now 18 and on my way to becoming a medical student in september, althuogh i will make a positive contribution of somekind... that art, be it music, or visual, or written word could be the key to help me convey a message and bring some form of positive emotion to people, and time and time agian I lose hope in taht ideal.
But it's people like you who bring back that belief, so thank you.

if you don't mind, it'd be nice to have your personal opinion on this: [link] . It's an idea, and a few words, about art. And meaning. And immortality.
It'd be much appreciated, if you have time, ofcourse.

once again, beautiful work sir~
