Critic’s Choice, The Midwest Book Review:
“Part art book, part collection of timeless folksy sayings, Whiskey & Wisdom: A Watercolor Journey Through Irish Sayings And Proverbs distills tidbits of Irish wisdom alongside the gentle colors and simple outlines of familiar everyday objects, pets, and landscapes. Each full-color painting is keyed to its proverb, such as “It’s no use carrying an umbrella if your shoes are leaking” opposite a still life of galoshes doubling as flower vases, and “Even a tin knocker shines on a dirty door” opposite an almost abstract representation of a house. A wonderful gift book, Whiskey & Wisdom shines in its unique balance of verbal and visual art.”
Carol Connolly, Poet Laureate, St Paul, MN:
“This gorgeous collection of small magical paintings, and miniature bits of ancient wisdom, capture and invigorate one’s heart and soul.”
Dennis McCann, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
“In this magically water colored land a band of visiting artists found fanciful images to match the timeless truths of Irish life, giving color to pub wisdom, and new tint to old traditions. Here whiskey and wisdom are perfectly yoked, as if inspired by Mother Superior, who on her death bed in County Mayo declined a last cup of milk until a novice slipped her whiskey instead. She drank and rallied, and when the novice asked some abiding wisdom on her way our she raised and said, ‘Don’t sell that cow.’ Pour yourself a glass and be transported.”
Barbie A. Brown, The County Journal:
“This book will put a smile to your lips, a laugh in your belly, and eyes on the back of your head!”
