Idaho plein air painter, Leo Edwin Ames, spent most of his life in northern Idaho in the region called The Palouse. Professionally he was an art director, designer and photographer at the University of Idaho. On his vacations and in retirement he painted often. He styled himself after Claude Monet and completed oil paintings in two or three hours from his french easel, on-site around the rolling hills, lakes and streams of The Palouse. This book by his daughter Julia P. Ames is a tribute to his work. This edition is 7" x 7" and hard-cover bound.
