"The digital Plein Air paintings of Nick
Pugh are no small feat. They are a modern counterpart to the
artist's sketchbook. These new works follow in the footsteps
of California's pioneer artists who served as illuminators
of the Golden State."

Luminair presents a collection of
digital life paintings by noted concept designer, Nick Pugh,
who has developed this novel approach to traditional representational
art. Painting from life, Pugh’s canvas is the laptop
computer screen and his palette is the multitude of colors
available to the digital artist. Traveling from his home in
California to rural New England, Europe, and South America,
he has painted a variety of appealing images that capture
the light and emotion of the scenes. For aspiring digital
painters, a helpful guide to the process is included. Luminair
is a lovely, unique book for artists and those who love art.
