North Carolina Sketches: Phases of Life Where the Galax Grows

About the Book

In historical fiction the plot is set in the past, and pays attention to the manners, social conditions and other details of the period portrayed. Some authors choose to include famous historical figures in their fictional plots, so that audiences can imagine how those individuals might have responded to the plots and environments established by the author. The Western literary component of this genre is founded in the early 19th century works of such authors as Sir Walter Scott, Honoré de Balzac, James Fenimore Cooper, and Leo Tolstoy.

Books on painting describe the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid support base. This is commonly applied with a brush, but other instruments, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, are also used. Painting is creative expression, and is done via drawing, gesture composition, narrative art, or abstract art. Paintings can be naturalistic, as in a still life or landscape painting, photographic, abstract, narrative, symbolistic, expressionist, or artivist (political). The base medium for paintings includes such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and concrete, and paintings could incorporate other materials including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, and/or objects.
