Double Take: A Second Look at the Joy of Seeing

By Bobbie Herron

Double Take: A Second Look at the Joy of Seeing is the memoir-style prequel to the best-selling art instruction book, Look at That!

It's the true story of how the author continued drawing, sketching, and painting throughout her life despite diminishing eyesight. The book's beautiful layout echoes the rhythm of the forty-seven sketchbook journals used to create it. Over 150 illustrations appear throughout this often light-hearted, often heart-wrenching tale of loss, despair, resolve, and joy.

Most memoirs are about complicated relationships between people.

This artist's illustrated memoir is different.

It's about Vision: Eyesight as well as Insight.
