This is a great read for young and young at heart

WOW this one blew wife and I away. Author did a masterful job of research and documentation to construct a touching biography of "the artist of her time". Scores of artists painted during the turn of the century, a minute number actually made a living selling paintings. Georgia mapped out her life goals as a young girl and followed through with precision. This is a great read for young and young at heart...loved it.
