Art = (Love)² [videorecording] / by Brooks, Jerome.; Dushku, Nate.; Goranson, Lindsay.; Hussain, Mumtaz.; MVD Visual (Firm);
Nate Dushku, Lindsay Goranson, Jerome Brooks Jr.Dean and Isabella are the quintessential New York City couple. Isabella provides passion and inspiration for Dean's large and colorful canvases. Isabella, a mathematics undergraduate student at Columbia University lives in a vivid world of geometrical shapes and symmetry. Their relationship is unique, a merger between shape and color. Between art and mathematics. That is, until the day Dean receives the news. Isabella is dead. Her absence is even more haunting because of the mysterious nature of her death, a crime still unsolved. A suicide, the police have concluded. Dean is shrouded in dismay and his art is suffering. He is uninspired. Frustrated, Dean splatters his canvas with paint. All abstractions. Images start to form in the midst of chaotic and abstract brush strokes. Dean follows the clues that his paintings provide. The accuracy of his paintings is striking! Yet his path leads toward Dean's greatest fear - the reflection of his own mind. Does he succeed?PG.DVD.

A shore thing / by Lowell, Joanna,author.;
"Former painter and unreformed rake Kit Griffith is forging a new life in Cornwall, choosing freedom over an identity that didn't fit. He knew that leaving his Sisterhood of women artists might mean forfeiting artistic community forever. He didn't realize he would lose his ability to paint altogether. Luckily, he has other talents. Why not devote himself to selling bicycles and trysting with the holidaymakers? Enter Muriel Pendrake, the feisty New-York-bound botanist who has come to St. Ives to commission Kit for illustrations of British seaweeds. Kit shouldn't accept Muriel's offer, but he must enlist her help to prove to an all-male cycling club that women can ride as well as men. And she won't agree unless he gives her what she wants. Maybe that's exactly the challenge he needs. As Kit and Muriel spend their days cycling together, their desire begins to burn with the heat of the summer sun. But are they pedaling toward something impossible? The past is bound to catch up to them, and at the season's end, their paths will diverge. With only their hearts as guides, Kit and Muriel must decide if they're willing to race into the unknown for the adventure of a lifetime"--
