The Mona Lisa Caper
"The Mona Lisa Caper is based on true events that began to unfold on Monday, August 21, 1911, when Vincenzo Perugia shocked the world by stealing the most famous of the many treasures in the Louvre.
Though Vincenzo was a thief, he meant well. He simply wanted to return the painting to the Italian people in the mistaken belief that it had been stolen from them. Eventually, inevitably, Vincenzo was captured in Florence and put on trial. Italians gave him their hearts for his patriotism. In fact, he received so much food, wine, clothing, and furniture, that he had to be moved to a larger cell!
Throughout Rick Jacobson's lively text, Mona Lisa herself narrates the story of her trip back to the city of her creation. The playful art Rick has painted along with his wife, Laura Fernandez, heightens the fun. Not only is it Keystone-Cops funny, it is a sound introduction to the painting that continues to delight, amaze, and mystify hundreds of years after Leonardo da Vinci's death.

Partial to Home: A Memoir of a Charmed Life by Bob Timberlake, ISBN 1878086812
Bob Timberlake was 28, married, with three children and a good job in his family's propane gas business, when he came home from work one night and sat down to browse through Life magazine. In it, he came across an article about the painter Andrew Wyeth that was to change his life. Although he'd never had an art lesson or set foot in an art gallery or museum, he was suddenly certain that he was destined to become a painter. Thus was Timberlake set upon an incredible journey that in just a few years would see him become one of America's most successful realist painters, his works fetching high prices and exhibited in prestigious museums. His art not only led him to know presidents, movie stars, the future king of England, and other powerful people but pushed him to become one the world's top 10 designers, creating the most successful furniture line in history as well as many other products, including a new line of Timberlake homes. Yet Timberlake never felt responsible for his successes....
