Itty Bitty Book Review: Burros and Paintbrushes

I found this very charming book by Everett Gee Jackson in a very neat bookstore in Santa Barbara. He spent around 3 years (1923-1926) in his youth painting in Mexico in places like Chapala, Guanajuato, Ajijic and Mexico City. These places are certainly very changed now and it was interesting to read about his adventures at this time. I was also very attracted by his artwork.
