Stephen McDonough, Artist & Author, Coshocton, Ohio USA

I love to create and oil paint. I have what I call an Asian Fusion style. I focus on animal and still life paintings, sometimes combining the two for some unique and interesting compositions, along with doing some figure painting. Also, I am the Author of the book "Tao of Life and Death A Tale." (see more info below​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​)

​​​​​​​Tao of Life and Death a Tale

This tale, set in ancient China, braids the stories of Zhong Kui and Happy Willow—two poor but talented boys who left their villages with their eyes set on officialdom. Like the epics of old, Tao of Life and Death is composed mostly in verse, and like any good tale, it offers both adventure and thought-provoking explorations of morality and mortality. Accompanied by original paintings created by the author, this book is sure to captivate readers interested in mythology, Eastern philosophy, and quests.
