Sinopsis
This collaboration in words and pictures brings forth a love letter that is culturally and artistically unique. "INTRODUCTORY "In 2008, when Ernest's seventieth birthday was approaching, I wanted to do something special to mark the occasion. I surreptitiously took photos, wrote vignettes, and brought the compilation to Office Max for a "specialist" to figure out how to put the whole thing together. The "specialist" created a spiral-bound book. When I presented it to Ernest on his birthday, he cried. He said it was the nicest present he had ever received. How could I not love a guy who cries with appreciation for my handiwork? "At the start of 2018, I suggested to Ernest that he make a book with photographs of some of his paintings as gifts for our friends, children, and grandchildren. He demurred. "A month later he came to me with a book mock-up based on the spiral-bound gift. He had changed out some of the paintings ("Those older ones are so primitive."), corrected my grammatical hiccups, and had prepared it to be published with a true spine! "He was too modest to publish a book of his art but was willing to share with me the creation of this book, revised and expanded, in honor of his Eightieth. "Have I said that I love this guy?" Laurel Richardson

Acerca del autor
LAUREL RICHARDSON is a Distinguished Emeritus Academy Professor of Sociology at The Ohio State University. She has been honored with Lifetime Achievement awards in her profession and in Who’s Who in America and the world. Her most recent book is Seven Minutes from home: An American Daughter’s Story (Sense: 2016). She has been married to the novelist and painter Ernest Lockridge for forty years. Most days she walks their two Papillons, writes, quilts, and walks the dogs some more. ERNEST LOCKRIDGE received for his eighth birthday a set of Sargent Oil Paints in its brown and black cardboard box and wasting no time made his first painting that same day. Decades later, on the verge of his eightieth, he has become a painter of award-winning paintings that have appeared in solo exhibits and on the covers of books—and in Why I Love Ernest, the most highly prized and deeply moving award ever.
