From Sara Midda, the artist whose first book, In and Out of the Garden, evoked all the pleasures of the English garden and received international acclaim, comes a wondrous sketchbook from a year spent in the South of France--an artist's personal journal carried everywhere and crammed with drawings and notions and thoughts surprising and whimsical.

Sara Midda captures the land, the people, the shimmering air--the whole feeling of Provence and the Cote d' Azur and the spell they cast over even those who haven't been. Describing her own work, Sara Midda says: "It is an evocation, an interpretation of the everyday. It is making discoveries about ordinary things. It is not merely landscapes and buildings, but the artifacts that are the bricks and mortar of a culture."

The entire volume is printed on uncoated stock to convey the feeling and texture of an artist's sketchbook.

    Every once in a while,

    I will read and re-read this book again...again... and again.

    It simply is wonderful...
    A treat to me, who enjoy colors, food and beautiful buildings.

    I especially cherish the fact that, most of the sketches are very casual.

    Art, can be very casual...

    It can be just part of the enjoyment of daily living.

    Art, doesn't need to complicated or labor intensive to be profound.

    每過一陣子,我就會重閱這一本書

    是一種享受

    裡面的顏色,質感…甚至味道

    都令我心頭愉悅

    這一本書的存在,

    叫我相信

    藝術不一定要是沉重辛苦的勾當

    它,也可以是一陣清風

    很隨意的,

    很日常生活的一回事。
