Experimental Nature in Acrylics

Paula Bailey

New and experimental ways to capture landscape in acrylics.
Landscape artist Paul Bailey's fascination with the natural world is sensationally conveyed in his colourful and semi-abstract paintings. In Experimental Nature in Acrylics, he reveals his techniques for the first time – making it simple for readers to produce their own work that is abstract, evocative and full of vivid colour.
Through easy-to-follow explanations and step-by-step demonstrations, Paul describes how to manipulate the medium in surprising – yet often simple – ways. Readers will learn how distil craggy cliffs, rolling farmland hills, tidal rivers or flat, open-skied wilderness in striking and unusual colour palettes. There are tips on how to paint organic shapes and using abstract elements in the natural landscape as the basis for a painting, and how to create a compositional sense of rhythm.
Paul's beautiful and contemporary work appears throughout the book and acts as a masterclass in scraping, pulling, weathering and splattering the paint. As well as showing how to build layer upon layer, the process of construction and how to tease a sense of movement from a static image.
This essential guide is a must for anyone wishing to augment their understanding of the acrylic medium and appreciation of composition and colour, and to liberate their own beautiful paintings.

Souls Who Meet Each Other

Patrizia Luraschi

When we speak of Souls meeting, we refer to that particular interconnectedness that binds two or more souls with one purpose in life: that of meeting and evolving together along the path of spiritual evolution. The Twin Souls are stimulated and helped in the path of spiritual growth, one comes to the rescue of the other, precisely because in the first place, they have so many goals to achieve in their life together, create their existence as a couple, as a family and as people who will give a good example to their friends and to all those around them. We live in the Age of Awareness and everything that happens, has its own reason of being, nothing belongs to chance; therefore, our reunions, our meetings, also belong to this. For example, the question many people ask is, "Why do Soul Mates exist?". Surely the Twin Souls are not an invention of who knows who, but they are actually a reality concerning Being, understood as a spiritual being of course. We can define our soul as "complete", but we are on this planet, life after life, with certain characteristics that affect the person, so the affinity that fits between the Twin Souls helps them in their relationship. But not only does affinity become part of these two people, there must also be a common reality about everything that concerns them and what follows. A meeting between Twin Souls is that moment in which an individual becomes aware that the known person is an important and fundamental part of his existence. Then, there is "chemistry" between two people and in the chapter we will explain this chemistry in what it consists, how it is born and what it creates between two souls that meet. Physical attraction only? You will read it. I will also bring to your knowledge "The Mental love", a kind of love that is born as an attraction between two souls who respect each other, working together in their relationship. Knowledge of the soul amalgamated with many aspects that will be alive for life. Something very different from the "Soul mates", who attract, feel, for eternity. Here is a real and mutual love lived during this life.

Ten Acres Enough - A Practical...

Edmund Morris

Ten Acres Enough: The Original Small-Farm Blueprint for Profitable Independence—Now with a New Introduction and Reader-Friendly Charts
 
What if financial independence didn’t require vast land, crushing debt, or industrial scale—just intelligence, discipline, and ten well-managed acres? First published in 1858, Ten Acres Enough by Edmund Morris is one of the most practical and quietly radical books ever written about small-scale farming, homesteading, and self-reliant living. Morris documents, in clear and methodical detail, how he escaped city dependence and built a profitable, sustainable livelihood on limited land—using careful planning, diversified production, and relentless attention to costs and returns. This is not pastoral fantasy; it is a numbers-driven case study in applied independence.
 
This edition has been thoughtfully updated for modern readers. It includes a new Introduction by audiobook narrator David Allen, placing Morris’s insights in today’s economic context, and the original charts have been repositioned for smoother, more convenient reading. Whether you are a homesteader, small farmer, investor, or simply someone questioning the assumption that “bigger is better,” Ten Acres Enough offers a timeless, field-tested framework for doing more with less—and doing it profitably.
