Curly Sue and the Beetle

Curly Sue the dog spends her days waiting for her boy to come home from school. She wants to show her nature-loving boy how much she cherishes him with a special gift. As a careful observer of the nature in her yard, Curly Sue finds a curious and creative way to express her love. Through 15 oil on panel paintings, illustrator Kory Alexander invites the reader and listener into a dream-like world. He formulates his landscapes with minimalistic color fields animated by romantic, expressive brushwork that is both refreshing and crucial to grounding Alexander’s work in the field of contemporary realism.
