From Booklist:

Innes turns her considerable talents to demonstrating Scandinavian painting. Each of the more than 20 projects is prefaced by a short narrative about the origins of the particular piece. Step-by-step textual guidance as well as color photographs provide even the novice painter with impossible-to-misconstrue instructions. Employed are techniques of peasant and "gentlemanly" decorative art. A wonderful introduction to an upcoming trend in home furnishings and design. Barbara Jacobs
