About this title

Synopsis

Peculiar, hilarious, odd, beautiful-all these words describe the remarkable art of Parks Reece of Livingston, Montana. Peter Fonda, Jim Harrison, Russell Chatham and many others have praised Reece's extraordinary artistic talent and his slightly skewed vision of the natural world. This book-the first collection of Reece's artwork-is destined to become an instant classic!

Review

"A truly extraordinary artist." -- Jim Harrison, author and screenwriter

"His paintings are collector's items." -- Wildlife Art News

"In the hands of Parks Reece, fine art becomes fun once again, and God bless him for that." -- William Hjorstberg, novelist.

"Parks Reece takes the fear and intimidation out of fine art and serves it up with a sense of humor." -- The Montana Standard (Montana), 2002

Hjortsberg said, "In the hands of Parks Reece, fine art becomes fun once again..." This book embodies that sentiment." -- Big Sky Journal

NATURAL SURREALIST...In one richly hued, lushly, even mysteriously textured painting after another, Reece seduces the eye and zaps the mind -- The Chicago Tribune, December 29, 2002

The book is, first, beautifully composed, with each painting giving way to the next in elegant, whimsical fashion. -- The Billings Gazette (Montana), 2002

Think what would happen if you crossed a fine wildlife painter with Gary Larson of "Far Side" cartoon fame... -- Winston-Salem Journal
