The photographic account of gradual change in each painting marks the passage of time, the growth of nearby vines & trees, & the progress of seasons. Merrill Wagner, a native of Washington State, is a painter now living & working in New York City who returns each summer to Tacoma.Wagner, Merrill is the author of 'Notes on Paint', published 1990 under ISBN 9780962779404 and ISBN 0962779407.
