Ken O'Neil left the security of a life as an engineer and entrepreneur in the halcyon years of California's Silicon Valley to follow his bliss and pursue a career as a painter and writer. If you have ever wondered how an artist conceives an abstract painting, this book takes you on one artist's journey. From written notes in journals, gathered over more than forty years of world travel in places both familiar and remote, Ken O'Neil built the foundation of his art. In this book the reader can travel with him and observe the transformation from notes to a painting.
