He loved looking at something in the room and making it come alive again in front of him. He drew pictures for his sisters, his classmates, his co-workers. Even during W.W.I, Horace filled his notebooks with drawings from the trenches . . . until he was shot. Upon his return home, Horace couldn't lift his right arm, and couldn't make any art. Slowly, with lots of practice, he regained use of his arm, until once again, he was able to paint--and paint, and paint! Soon, people—including the famous painter N. C. Wyeth—started noticing Horace's art, and before long, his paintings were displayed in galleries and museums across the country.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJen Bryant and Melissa Sweet team up once again to share this inspiring story of a self-taught painter from humble beginnings who despite many obstacles, was ultimately able to do what he loved, and be recognized for who he was: an artist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44296577613866,"sku":"signed","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0152\/7041\/2388\/files\/9780375867125_d044b.jpg?v=1777385600","url":"https:\/\/booksofwonder.com\/products\/9780375867125","provider":"Books of Wonder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
