INSIDE: KENTUCKY Land of Beauty

This book has been designed as a celebration of Kentucky and its people, to show the rest of the world why Kentuckians are so proud of their beautiful state.

Come along with acclaimed artist Gary Akers on an unforgettable journey into the heart of the blue grass state, transported by a remarkable collection of over 100 egg tempera, drybrush and watercolor paintings.

Akers has a clear love for his home state, capturing it in the featured regions of Kentucky, including the Kentucky coal fields, the thoroughbred farms of central Kentucky, and the broad, verdant fields of western Kentucky.

Akers also paints Kentucky's beloved historic landmarks like Bardstown's My Old Kentucky Home, Shaker Village at peasant Hill, and Louisville's Churchill Downs.

Complementing the paintings are interesting notes and commentaries from the artist.

The perfect and indispensable resource for any Akers collector or admirer of the artist's paintings.
