ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Annette Dozier has been painting landscapes for more
than 23 years and has spent many years travel-teaching
around the country. She studied with Dorothy Dent in the
1980s and has since developed her own painting style and
techniques. She is the author of four successful books on
landscape painting published by Eas'l and is at work on a
fifth one. She has also had articles published in many of
the painting magazines including The Decorative
Painter. She is a member of the Society of Decorative
Painters and Artistic Friends Club of St. Louis. She has
been active in the craft market, both retail and wholesale,
since her first store opened in 1974. She now teaches in
her home studio and travels throughout the United States
teaching in both oil and acrylic.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
To the staff at F+W, thank you, thank you. You were so
understanding during a difficult time. Both Dave and I
appreciate your help and kindness. I want to thank Kathy
Kipp for considering me and for honoring me by asking
me to do this book. Holly Davis, you were great to work
with and I wish you success in your new position with
F+W. Kathy, thanks for stepping in and helping with the
completion of this book. Christine Polomsky, you made it
so easy for me as you clicked photo after photo. A great
staff, beautiful, informative books and a blessing to the
artist.
DEDICATION
There is a special man in my life to whom I would like to
dedicate this book, David, my husband of 47 years.
During the painting and designing of the canvases in
Painting Peaceful Country Landscapes, he had to do
double duty. This last year has required much from him,
and I appreciate all his help and comfort.
