About the Book:
It’s a love story, a movable feast of sensual delights and artistic insight, part cozy, part caper, part coming- of age, with a dash of international intrigue and a smattering Spanish words—a sensuous bowl of pozole, tasty to the last drop. An intelligent, nostalgic re-picturing of the emergent subculture of 1969. The boundary between what’s moral and what’s legal gives A Coward’s Guide to Oil Painting an outlaw feel, and principles of painting take it to the level of Art.
Those who liked Sacre Bleu by Christopher Moore and The Teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda will like this book.

About the Author
MM Kent is not just another old man telling lies. As a professional artist for 34 years, he’s exhibited work in fourteen states and won awards on both coasts. Kent draws on his experience painting in the naturalist tradition to infuse his debut novel with the kind of art lore only acquired from first-hand experience. An athlete and grandpa, he’s both a skeptic and a romantic, living in Fayetteville Arkansas with his wife, Anne, his painting studio and his garden.
