An Artist's Journey to Bali: The Island of Art, Magic and Mystery

" "An Artist's Journey to Bali" is much more than your usual tourist guide to the beautiful and mysterious Indonesian island of Bali. Written and illustrated by renowned artist Betty Reynolds, this book contains the author impressions of the wonderful island whose inhabitants are known to adhere to daily rituals that, although strange and unfamiliar to foreigners, give the island and its people a distinct aura of mystery and magic. In this beautifully illustrated artist's sketchbook, the author shares her good fortune of meeting many Balinese who allowed her to witness important aspects of their lives and culture, and to participate in the religious rituals that mark their passage through the major stages of life.
Page after page of carefully drawn watercolors bring to life the author fascination with the island and its people, drawing on the culture that charmed her in the first place. Elaborately decorated temples, colorful ceremonies and personal anecdotes enchant the reader on every page.
