Macmillan has already published two editions of Criss Canning"s desirable book, The Pursuit of Beauty, authored by David Thomas, and is planning a third edition to showcase her beautiful canvases in which botanical art and still-life painting come together in a completely unique way. This mini-book focuses on Canning"s studies of her studio, with its extraordinary array of still-life objects, and the artist"s favourite flowers and botanical specimens. Many of the paintings have not been previously reproduced.
