Painted Dresses

first of all, I should disclose that I am a major Shelby Hearon Fan. I have read all her books at least twice since I discovered her in 1989. Painted Dresses is one of my favorites. Like most of her books, we follow the life of a woman coming to understand herself and her world better. Unlike many of her novels, this one travels from Texas to New Mexico and California. Besides the descriptive writing, the wonderful characters, and the positive images of women; Painted Dresses gets into the creative mind of a painter where the color of available light changes with the landscape and affects everything. This is a great read. Enjoy.
