Synopsis
This artist’s illustrated memoir is a celebration of creativity, vulnerability, humor, and perseverance.
Double Take offers you the chance to peer over the shoulder of an artist at work, eavesdrop on her struggles with art and life, and join her as she celebrates unexpected victories, all while living with progressive blindness.
It is a true story, the back story behind Herron’s best-selling first book, Look at That!, which was written to inspire people to look, see, sketch, and fall in love with our magical sense of sight.
Double Take tells the tale of how the author returned to artmaking after a twenty-year hiatus, and how she chose to sketch outdoors in all sorts of weather, as a way to witness, embrace, and fall back in love with life, even with limited vision.
This 230-page memoir contains over 150 watercolor illustrations gleaned from her vast collection of sketchbooks.
Readers’ reviews:
An Inspiring Look into an Artist's Soul
"This is a wonderful memoir which chronicles one artist's journey of self-discovery as she struggles to deal with the trials of life (including steadily diminishing eyesight) and finds purpose, connection, and success. The writing is engaging, and Ms. Herron is wonderfully relatable. I laughed, I cried, and I found renewed hope for my own artistic journey. Can't recommend this book enough.” – T.B.
Absolutely glad I read this!
"The artwork is spectacular. Her courage and perseverance made it the most inspiring art book I have ever read.” - R.R.
A Love Letter for living
"I am a huge fan of Herron's first book, "Look at That!” and recommend it as a beautiful way to get sketching and pay attention to the world around us. "Double Take" is a love letter to the joy and art of living. If you love life, the good, the bad and the sometimes overwhelming, read this book and "see" for yourself.” - F.L.
