Editorial Reviews
"Artist John W. Taylor combines journal entries with his lovely wildlife paintings to evoke one archetypal spring on the banks of the Chesapeake." -- Baltimore Magazine
"John W. Taylor, venting his passion for Chesapeake Bay, has the advantage of a double talent: As outdoorsman, he explores, notices, and diarizes; as artist, he freeze-frames and perpetuates... His new book of delicate-color illustrations, Chesapeake Spring is broad in format and time. This 'spring' runs form Dec. 26 to June 21. Taylor's pauses are labeled Marmusco Creek, Corrotoman River, Sheepshead Cove, Beverly Beach County Park, Jug Bay Wetlands Park, Dragon Run, and Barren Island. But nothing is barren to his eye and hand." -- Baltimore Sun
"For years Taylor has been recognized as one of the foremost painters of Chesapeake Bay waterfowl. With this book, however, he has broadened his vision. The volume includes 65 color illustrations of the region's flora and fauna. Among the paintings are images of egrets, eagles, yellow and white perch, salamanders, irises and willows. All are wonderfully evocative... Throughout the book, Taylor blends odd facts with his own first-hand observations. As a result, the book is very informative. But that is not its main purpose. The words and pictures in this volume capture the sense of exhilaration that one feels when surrounded by natural beauty." -- Port Folio Weekly
"One of those books you don't want to put down... Taylor obviously enjoys the Bay and each day of his chronicle is a distillation from his notebooks. His paintings that illustrate the book show the naturalist's eye for important detail." -- Fifty Plus
