I have been a fan of Layne Johnson's paintings (and picture books) since I bought WHEN HORSES RUN FREE. But when I saw FARMER GEORGE, still in the F&G (fold and gather) stage, I became entranced with Layne's work. Not all artists can paint realistic portraits and even fewer as realistic as Layne. His paintings are stunning! http://www.laynejohnson.com/
