Editorial Reviews

From the Author

We thought a coloring book of Candace's paintings would make a lovely reward or free gift for the upcoming book that is currently in development called Companions in the Garden - The Making of a First Lady Portrait Artist. However, when the coloring book craze hit the fan in April, we decided we'd better get this one on the market. We're hoping to help people boost their visual literacy by seeing what the artists sees. The cat's out of the bag...coloring is fun and good for us, too!

BEST book ever!
Printed only on one side.
Drawings in blue which can easily fade into the background when you color.
Full size color drawing of EACH painting, opposite the drawing, Handy IF you want to try to color exactly like her work.
Might be a good place to start ... copying.
She is as sensitive in putting together her book AS she is in her Art work
Can't WAIT for her next book!!!
What a difference between her book with drawings outlined in blue, and those HARSH BLACK LINED drawings everyone else does.
FOR SURE they are just like children's drawing books...

A fascinating & fun new way to share in the work of Candace Whittemore Lovely...

Candace and I have been friends for over 30 years, since when her art studio was in the historic Fenway Studios in Boston. A Boston School of Impressionism painter, she has always been on the forefront of introducing her work to new patrons and sharing her knowledge of painting with the world. I was delighted Amazon delivered my copy of her new coloring book promptly. As I look at it, I am imagining many quiet moments spent coloring over the summer. Will be purchasing more copies as gifts.

Received my book yesterday and I'm totally thrilled with it. Met Candace many years ago and was honored to have her do a sketch of me in Hilton Head. So happy to see her Barbara Bush portrait in the book which is one of my favorites along with many of the others. Adore her art. She's one of a kind and a terrific artist and lady.

A genius idea. To be able to view many of Candace's work and then color along is a wonderful gift to all art collectors or as a teaching tools to a young artist.
