Wordless Wednesday: Guilty Pleasure or Research?

I bought this beautiful book (with deckle edged pages and wonderful old photographs and illustrations) as a treat to myself yesterday, over at a new indie bookstore in Rosemary Beach called The Hidden Lantern. You can read a nice review of the book here.

The book is Lee Krasner: A Biography by Gail Levin. Call it guilty pleasure, but I'm writing it off as research for my novel-in-progress. One of my main characters is based on the life of abstract expressionist artist, Elaine de Kooning, who appears numerous times in the book.

I think it's about time for another coffee break... on the balcony....
