Could not decide where to announce this one, here or in the book section, but decided here. As i announced during my talk at the recent OTF seminar, work has begun and the goal is to have Tumult in the Clouds published by sometime next spring. The cover is attached to attract your interest. Alan Roessler is editing and publishing this book which will have approx 35 of Russ's paintings included in a landscape style/size book.
Not only that:: in addition to Russ's superb artwork there is an ALL-STAR cast of contributing authors who have kindly joined the book to write within their field of expertise: they will contribute the text and some photos from their collections- some never before published photos in fact!!!
in alphabetical order:
Lance Bronnenkant
Dennis Gordon
Jon Guttman
Mike O'Neal
Colin Owers
Terry 'Taz" Phillips
Steve Skinner
Alan Toelle
Greg van Wyndgarden
Charlie Woolley
and finally, humbly, myself Jim Wilberg

Also , expect some b/w drawings by Russ and a chapter by Russ himself discussing how he creates such wonderful paintings that bring visual history to life!!
stay tuned for more information as this book comes to fruition!!!
