Minimal Realism


I need this book! The illustrations by the late Charley Harper are truly inspiring. He grew up on a farm in West Virginia and as a country girl I felt this relationship with nature immediately in his drawings. He passed away this year in June and I feel regret that I only discovered his work recently. His birds are what I have fallen in love with and I am keen to further develop my own illustration style. Perhaps I will create a mini series of wildlife based post-cards of my own.
