Last week, I attended the Portrait Society of America’s annual conference in Philadelphia. I had the privilege of working with the staff members at the book table- and I met some very interesting people… ! Needless to say, after all of those book sales, I had to grab a few for my own collection. Here’s the newest imports from the PSOA:

The Intimate Eye: The Drawings of Burton Silverman (<— love this book~!)

Sight and Insight: The Art of Burton Silverman

Everett Raymond Kinstler: My Brush with History

Timothy J. Clark, Self Titled
