I was surprised to see a copy of my new book, The Art of Daniel Ambrose, in the mailbox today, since it wasn’t due to arrive until mid December.

It’s my first book. A curated collection of blog posts from 2006-2012, including snippets from my sketchbooks, a few poems and of course, egg tempera paintings. I designed it as an intimate format, about the size of an iPAD Air. About 100 pages in length, it reveals insights into my creative process from initial inspiration to finished paintings.  A book light enough to settle in with or share.

I was hoping it would be ready for the holidays as it would make a wonderful gift. After I have a few friends proof it for me, I’ll officially release it. But for now, I just wanted to give you a sneak peek, and share the exciting news with you.
