Summary: Magee's stone paintings are serene, flawless, astonishing!
Comment: I have spent a lot of time gathering smooth, waterworn stones along beaches and streams, and have always loved their graceful rounded shapes, and their setting, the way they settle with each other. Alan Magee captures this feeling perfectly. Looking at his book, no one can believe these are paintings. Trompe l'oeile, fool the eye painting of the 19th century, comes to mind - and he does a few paintings in that style. But those paintings are ultra-natural, ultra precise. His do not call attention to their precision. All you see is his subject. Can you act natural? Can you lay out a garden, or leaves, or stones so that they look natural? I've looked at a lot of stones, and I could not lay out actual stones in as natural a setting as he sets them in his paintings. Look for this book!
