Artist Nancy Guzik is the wife of Richard Schmid, whose book Alla Prima II I am almost finished reading (50 pages left, I can’t read it any slower, it’s so great!). And she is also on the cover of this book. Her paintings adhere to the standards set by her husband. That’s actually how they met each other 🙂 However, when you seek out her works, Richard’s legacy tends to eclipse everything. Richard passed away three years ago, and she is mostly recognized for preserving his memory and promoting his books. Her artwork frequently graces the pages of the book, as she does in Richard’s paintings, and it’s quite evident, thus I must mention her among my favorite artists. She has created several paintings, all from life, all stunning. In the comments, I will post a brief video by Nancy herself discussing a painting featuring four children and a book.
