Excellent Resource .......2005-11-21
This floral painting book is excellent. Instead of a one-technique collection from a singular artist, this compilation from several fine watercolorists provides a treasure chest of techniques. From basic watercolor daisies to crinkled masa paper pansies, this book gives clear demonstrations and inspiration. There were simple projects that were provided quick success, and more challenging techniques that required some practice.
Some prior basic watercolor experience is necessary. The instructions assume basic level skills such as charging, negative painting, glazing and use of liquid masking. Successful composition suggestions are covered, as well.
I have many flower books, but this one by far is the best........1998-11-13
After purchasing many watercolor books on flowers and realizing they just didn't fit my needs, I was hesitant to purchase another one. But after seing Basic Flower Painting, I succumbed and am thrilled with the instructions and the step by step demos that are the most helpful of all. The price is so reasonable for what is provided in the content, and the colors are as vibrant as in a much more expensive book. I couldn't ask for anything more. I recommend it to any level artist whether beginner or advanced. There's something for everyone in it.
Great Reference, But Beginners Beware.......1998-04-03
Caveat: this title may attract the novice, but "Basic" shouldn't be confused with "Beginning." If you are have a limited palette and are not yet conversant with terms like "charging color," "thirsty brush," and "modeling," the demonstrations may be frustrating.
That being said, the book is a joyful compendium of fine work by accomplished artists. Many examples are featured in the _Splash_ series. Demonstrations are varied, detailed, and challenging (although the section on special effects with cotton swabs is a bit long).
As a reference or idea-generator, the book is excellent. The editor has thoughtfully included sketches for constructing single blossoms, composite flowers, stems, leaves, weeds, and wild grasses. For the adventurous, she also includes articles on techniques with crumpled paper, compositions, acetate, acrylic, and airbrush.
I would recommend this book highly for an advanced beginner who is interested in exploring florals in more depth, or for the more accomplished artist who seeks a comprehensive overview of the subject.
Simply one of the best flower painting books ever published.......1997-10-13
If you really want to learn about flower painting, This is one book you simply cannot do without ! This book REALLY teaches you the basics step-by-step.

The instruction in this book makes it fun and easy to create beautiful watercolor daisies, hydrangeas, roses, lilies, poppies . . . all your favorite blooms! You'll find everything you need to get painting right away--from basic exercises in color choice and composition to techniques for painting leaves, backgrounds, arrangements and outdoor scenes. It's all explained in simple language with hands-on exercises, easy-to-follow demonstrations and step-by-step projects!

Gauguin meets Okeefe...........2001-09-30
Different artists depict flowers differently and not all of them appeal to my eye. I am very much attracted to Sharon Hinckley's painting style. I am a fan of the bright colors of Gauguin and the vivid up-close and personal semi-abstract flowers of Georgia O'Keefe, and although they both mostly worked in oils, I think Hinckley has merged elements of both of their styles with her own and produced some wonderful watercolor painting.
Watercolor painting is more difficult than oil painting because you can't really paint over your mistakes without making a mess. Hinckly not only explains how to create flowers step by step (beginning with a discussion of the appropriate supplies and an explanation of color), she shows the reader how to make what she describes as "leaf soup" which forms the basis of the foliage in her watercolors. Hinckly says while many would-be artists can create flowers, most have difficulty with the stuff that grows with flowers, i.e. leaves, stems, and bark. One photo shows Hickley's palette, "leaf soup" mixture.
There are many books on the market offering instruction on "how to" draw-paint flowers, but if you are fond of the "colorist" approach to painting, you may find it hard to beat the techniques described in WATERCOLOR BASICS, PAINTING FLOWERS.
This Book Allows Your Talent to Blossom.......2000-01-22
Ms. Hinckley's book Watercolor Basics: Painting Flowers is a delight to read. At first glance her paintings seem to have been created so effortlessly they can be intimidating (how can I ever paint this well! ). But only for a moment. Her writing is so warm and friendly, and the techniques presented so clearly and sometimes whimsically (check out the painting at the bottom of page 29--one of my favorites) that you've absorbed a host of tricks and tips before you know it. From valuable advice on materials, organization, palette arrangement and mixing strategies to step-by-step demonstrations that culminate in truly breathtaking results (Calla Lilies, pages 118-121, is my absolute favorite for its depth and richness) I have never had an instruction book offer so much helpful information while being such an enjoyable read.
I would like to paint like Sharon.......2000-01-18
Sharon's watercolor illustrations are beautiful, as are her paintings. I love the vibrant colors. Why not learn from the best?
Book Helps Painters to Relax, See and Enjoy Painting.......2000-01-15
Wanting to make watercolor postcards for holiday messages, I picked up Sharon Hinckley's book for pointers. Her teaching approach not only helped me create personal postcards, it nudged me over the hump of over-thinking words too; as a writer, my inner critic often edits my thoughts, sometimes before they are shaped into words. This book is great for students learning to release fear and let the paint flow. Hinckley's approach, plus beautifully clear instructions and illustrations, make Painting Flowers an excellent source for learning and unlearning bad habits that thwart the creative process. Dive IN!
Color and light explained.......1999-12-10
In her book called Watercolor Basics: Painting Flowers, Sharon Hinckley goes far beyond watercolor technique. The author is a phenomenal watercolorist ( the illustrations are worth the price alone ). However, she is also a great teacher, explaining the painter's way of using a specified palette and "sculpting " light and color on paper. The result is a practical and humorous guide (it's like your best friend telling you to relax and enjoy it ! ) that allows me, the painter, to let go and paint. This is what a book like this should do: give "tips", inspire, console, laugh with you, and really mentor beginning and...resuming artists like me.

An uplifting collection of stories for the female equestrian.......2003-12-24
After completing their two previous books, "Dogs and Their Women" and "Cats and Their Women," authors Cohen and Taylor set out to put together this third compliation. After submitting ads to equine journals requesting that women send in their stories of their experiences with horses, they received over 300 responses. 58 were selected for inclusion in this book.
Each vignette is unique - some are only a few sentences in length, others take up a whole page, and the content of each is as widely varied as the length. Contributors include owners, riders, trainers, children and adults, amateurs and professionals, a mounted police officer, an equine photographer, a Standardbred racehorse driver, a veterinarian, and more. Topics covered range from stories of healing, horses as an escape from and balm for life's problems, a child's first horse, memorials for favorite horses that have passed on, lessons learned from horses, obstacles overcome, goals made and reached, or simply a description of a favorite moment with an equine friend.
My two favorite stories were one by a woman whose two horses were stolen and sold for slaughter, and the miraculous way they were rescued and returned to her; and a second by a woman who had adopted a Mustang whose previous owner had abused her, and the journey of trust-building and healing they have gone through.
Each vignette is accompanied by a beautiful full-page photograph of the contributor and her horse. The black and white photography gives the book a classic, elegant, timeless feel, and captures each horse and woman in a crisp, beautiful portrait shot. Some of the shots are posed, others candid, and this too adds to the variety of the book.
This book is heartwarming, fun, and uplifting - an alternate title could easily be "Chicken Soup for the Horsewoman's Soul." I would highly recommend it to any female horse lover. Buy it for yourself - it's great for either the bedside or the coffee table, or buy it as a nice present for a friend. Or both! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a sequel.
A sweet group of essays written by women about their horses.......2001-03-03
This is really a very sweet book. It would be a perfect gift for a young girl in her early teens that has been bitten by the horse bug. It has over 100 pages, with a large black and white photo on one side, and an essay on the other. Some of the essays are short, some are boring, and some make you wonder why you bought this book. But then you read the ones that bring tears to your eyes and you know why. This book shows us women and the horses they love, and in their own words they tell us a little about themselves and their horse. It's not a glorious coffee table book like GaWaNi Pony Boy's is, but it is a charming book to read and pass along to other women, or our daughters who share our love of horses.
Horses And Their Women.......1997-08-06
Scores of small essays about the special horse(s) in various women's lives. A big black and white photo on one page is complemented by the story right beside it. There are no color photos. Some of the "essays" are only two sentences long! Some of the stories are hilarious, some heartbreaking, some just silly or sappy. Still, there is a genuine love of horses here, and no male-bashing like the title might suggest. If you love horses, real horses, not just fictional or perfect horses, than display this book proudly on your shelf
The right book for the adult wishing for a horse.......1997-06-18
This is the kind of book that makes you wish you could have someone else drop the kids off at soccer and ballet lessons so you had time to slip into your jeans and head out to the stable. Lots
of photos and stories of girls and women alike who have accomplished that dream. By Claire

Very Good Book!.......2005-12-27
American Girl book series were always very popular to younger girls, It is a good thing they made a book about horses and the Rodeo to give younger children a good idea about horses! I recomend this book to any youngester who wants to learn about horses!
Great for horse lovers everywhere!.......2005-10-18
I loved this book! It had cool stories about girls and their horses. I love horses and this book told me about what other girls do to take care of their horses. I also loved the horse trading cards, hey had many differnt kinds of horses on them. I also learned many things you can do on a horse. I think that if you love horses than this is for sure the perfect book for you!! I also loved all the full colored pictures. I would recommend this book fo everybody! -kristen
Great for young horse riders.......2005-09-11
My 9 year old daughter (and I,her mother) really enjoyed this book. Although intended for young girls, I also learned from it. The book does a great job of explaining different kinds of riding and of some of the work involved in taking care of horses. I would highly recommend it for someone interested in taking riding lessons.
Two Hooves Up!.......2005-07-13
I really enjoyed reading this book with all of the true stories like a girl who babysits minature horses, a girl who show jumps, a rodeo rider and much more storyies. But if you If you want to learn about how to take care of horses thhis is not the right book. I love the information in the back of the book and the trading cards though. It tells you a typical day at a horse farm and tells you about some grooming tools and the parts of tack. Over all I think this book rocks. and should get two hooves up!
Amercian Girl horse book.......2005-05-14
This book is very good, but it doesn't tell the people about caring for horses and there is really no need to babysit minture ponies in the book sure it tells people about the rodeo,but besides that the book is pretty good it tells people about the Rodeo and saddle parts for both Engling & Western saddle it has great trading cards in the back of the book.
Customer Reviews:
This book is worth it!.......2005-02-17
Don't listen to the reviewer who said, "don't bother" to read this book. I have read this book in addition to the book that she says is better, and I found them both interesting. She mentions that the other book interviews the same people. Well, the other book is about women in racing and interviews women in a wide variety of jobs within the racing business from the backside to the offices.
This book, however, concentrates soley on the female jockeys. If you're a girl who dreams of being a jockey, this book is a must read for you. For anyone else, it is interesting to see how different women broke into the sport and their different personalities, from the tomboyish jockeys to the ones a little more in touch with their 'girly' side. All of them go out there and ride sucessfully and don't compromise their own style.
Julie Krone isn't the only successful female jockey, and this book introduces you to some other female jocks. They may be riding at a track near you, so get this book, then go out to the races and root for one of the girl jocks. Don't forget that horse racing is the only sport (that I can think of) where women compete directly against men on an equal basis.
a wonderful book for anyone who love horses and horse racing.......1999-09-28
This book is an inspiration for all young girls who have ever wanted to have a career that would be horse related. All of the biographies of the ladies listed here show the determination needed to make a living in a sport that is very exciting, but also demanding and frustrating.

An insightful new look at the racing world........2003-12-16
This book is a collection of interviews with eighteen women working in different aspects of the Thoroughbred racing industry - trainers Linda Rice, Jenine Sahadi, and Christine Janks; jockeys Patti Browne, Donna Barton Brothers, and Zoe Cadman; reporter Charlsie Cantey; breeder Alice Chandler; groom Francesca Rabadan; photographer Barbara Livingston; track veterinarian Mary Scollay; publicist Jane Goldstein; racing officials Christine Salvino and Donna Porter; chart caller Sheryl Stefanowicz, journalist Maryjean Wall; jockey's wife Dot Sibille; and pari-mutuel clerk / horse tattooer Charlene Burkhardt. The range of perspectives is very nice.
Each woman brings a unique view of the industry, but there are also a lot of similarities running between them. Many, though not all, had families with backgrounds in horses. Almost all noted the fact that they had to work much harder than men in the same fields. Some were very conscious of sexism in their workplaces, and others found that the best way to deal with it was to ignore it entirely. Most of the women interviewed commented on the growth of the industry which has led to a more cutthroat atmosphere in recent years and the loss of great racing personalities. Every single one arrived at their place in life through an intense love of horses.
In terms of good writing, the book is not the best. The interviews are transcribed very directly, and the simple fact is that people do not speak in the same way that they write. There are times when the reading is awkward due to grammatical errors or patterns of speech that are not used in written language. The book would have flowed more nicely if the authors had either done their own write-ups on the women (the brief introductions before each interview read very well, for example) with extensive quoting, or had at least done a little more editting to the interviews themselves. Words such as "like," which are found randomly placed in sentences, could have been removed.
On the whole, however, the book is a fairly easy read (I was able to finish it in one day), and is very worthwhile. The women's stories are inspiring and often heartwarming. The chapter on Jenine Sahadi really made me smile. She's a tough and determined woman who's good at what she does, and I have gained a whole new respect for her. Francesca Rabadan's story brought tears to my eyes - she's been through so much and has come through with her gentle soul intact, and that is truly amazing. I also particularly enjoyed the interviews with Charlsie Cantey, Zoe Cadman, and Dot Sibille. I would love to see a sequel to this book someday that would introduce us to more of the outstanding women involved with Thoroughbred racehorses.
Women In Racing worthy read.......2002-08-17
"Women in Racing" is a collection of stories from many different facets of women in the sport. And frankly, you'll be suprised at what some of them have to say.
None of the chapters are too long and the book is just as good read skipping randomly from chapter to chapter as it would reading it cover to cover. Reading it is easy, no fighting to stick with a laboring plot line through 350 pages like some books.
A very good read with interesting characters. The best part is, like Seabiscuit, the women in this book are real. That is better than fiction.
Women in Racing: In Their Own Words.......2001-10-26
Here's a real treasure for girls and women who grew up loving horses and those who didn't--and for boys and men who want to know more about what goes on behind the scenes and on the turf in horseracing. These interviews with 18 women in all facets of horseracing are inspiring, informative, and just plain fun. There are trainers, breeders, and jockeys, of course, and backstretch workers, grooms, veterinarians, racing publicists, journalists, and photographers, as well as paddock judges, chart callers, mutuel clerks, and the most exotic of all-a horse tattooer! For ages 12 to adult, this is a special look into a world most of us know little about but are intrigued by the excitement and pagentry we catch glimpses of from time to time.
Women in Racing In Their Own Words.......2001-09-21
That interviewees in Women in Racing are so forthcoming and honest about their lives in the horse racing world speaks to the quality of the McEvoys' rapport and relationships with this large cast of women that includes a pari-mutuel clerk, a track official, a clocker, a jockey, owner-breeder, veterinarian, and more. They have a drive and tenacity that is probably only rivaled by women at the top of Fortune 500 companies. Each story is inspirational to anyone who dares to dream.
The chapter on Maria Rabadan, a groom, can move you to tears. Nevertheless, her story and each of the other stories are about triumph. You'll get a lot of chuckles out of these stories. Christine Salvino, a paddock judge, tells a hilarious anecdote about a horse that wouldn't allow a saddle on its back except when the call to post was played by the bugler! Read chapter 13 to get dieting tips from the "girl in red" Zoe Cadman (the jockey). She goes on the "Don't eat" diet to get thin and she doesn't lift weights because she says she's too muscular already.
Interestingly, many of these women seem driven by successful fathers with high expectations. (That would make a great psychological study!) All of them are serious sportswomen. Many describe themselves as conscious of the women's movement, but too busy to have taken part in it. Some of the women focus on gender as a defining issue and others ignore it, but they all say they had to work twice as hard as men to get the same opportunities.
The narratives bring the reader into each woman's private world. I always wanted to know what Charlsie Cantey thought while having to ride alongside jockeys with a microphone strapped to her or how women in racing coped with sexual harassment and so few ladies' rooms! Almost all of the women lament the loss of "characters" and colorful people in the racing field, as well as the change from racing as a family passion to a bottom line business.
Donna Porter (a racing official) recounts that she could only get on the back side unless her husband signed her in at the stable gate. Whether it was fear of lawsuits claiming discrimination, women's demands, or the changing times, thankfully the racing world has changed. Women have become president of the Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association, president of the Illinois Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association and winners of the Eclipse Awards. Go Baby Go is right!

Fantastic stories?.......2006-07-20
"The Best of the Fantastic Four Vol. 1" is a good primer to bring readers up to speed on what the Fantastic Four is all about. As with any collection that attempts to select 360 pages from 46 years of publishing history, the final choices are subjective and exclude a lot of great material.
Of course, the collection leads with the 1961 first issue, where writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby introduce readers to the Thing (a carryover concept from Marvel's then-successful monster mags), Mr. Fantastic, the Human Torch (a revamp of the Golden Age character) and the Invisible Girl.
The next story is the origin of Doctor Doom from FF Annual #2, included presumably because the book coincided with the Fantastic Four movie, which featured Doom. It's a fun story, but not Stan and Jack's best.
Doom is present in the next story, along with guest-star Daredevil, from FF #39-40, an enjoyable two-parter. What follows is a bona fide FF classic from issue #51, "This Man...This Monster!"
Next comes a more problematic choice. FF #100 is included presumably because it's an anniversary issue that guest-stars (sort of) almost all the FF villains. Kirby worked miracles on a regular basis, but not even he could pull off dozens upon dozens of baddies in only 20 pages. A rare misfire by the book's original team.
Next comes a sampling of creative teams from different eras. FF #116, by Archie Goodwin, John Buscema and Joe Sinnott, is a quick read, but one feels it's only here because, again, Doom is the villain. George Perez of "Crisis on Infinite Earths" fame is represented by FF #176, written by Roy Thomas, which features the super-annoying Impossible Man.
John Byrne, whose run on the title is second in quality (and quantity) to only Lee and Kirby, is well represented by the collection. We have his classic Thing time-travel story, "Remembrance of Things Past," and my personal favorite Fantastic Four story of all time, "Terror in a Tiny Town" from the FF's 20th anniversary issue. Byrne is also on hand to chronicle one of the group's most tragic moments in "A Small Loss" (FF 267).
Some of the more modern stories in this collection (2002 and up) are OK, but seem to be included only to represent all eras of the book's lengthy run. In some cases, like 2004's "Wolf at the Door - Part 4," not enough time has past to judge if a particular story is worthy of "Best of" inclusion.
And, of course, the stories that are excluded! Where are representative stories of the Inhumans, Galactus, and the Silver Surfer? For that matter, where is ANY story from the 90s? How about Reed and Sue's wedding? The attack upon New York by the Sub-Mariner? The editors left lots of options open for future volumes!
The good news is the FF's adventures are available elsewhere -- in Marvel's budget-priced, black-and-white Essentials volumes, the more expensive Masterworks hardcovers, or on DVD-Rom with ads and letters pages included.
This book, handsomely organized and bound, is still a great addition to any bookshelf and serves to whet the appetite for all the great FF adventures!
Great Fun.......2005-09-04
A fun volume to have in your library if you are a Marvel fan, or just grew up with the Fantastic Four (as I did, in the sixties!). I wouldn't necessarily say these are the best stories, but they are certainly fun stories. It's interesting to see the very earliest adventures at the front of the book and compare them to the latest. Quite a change in style...but the characters stay true to form (better dialogue, better art work, obviously in the most recent incarnations). Stories from how the Four became Fantastic to their bankruptcy and personal difficulties. A few stories about the angst of the Thing being the Thing and funny moments between Ben and the Torch. Perhaps not REALLY the very best of FF...but a lot of fun at least.
