Double Take: A Second Look at the Joy of Seeing

Bobbie Herron
4.62/5 (44 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
“Double Take: A Second Look at the Joy of Seeing” is the memoir-style companion to the best-selling art instruction book, “Look at That!”

It’s the true story of how the author continued drawing, sketching, and painting throughout her life despite threats to her eyesight. The book’s beautiful layout echoes the rhythm of the 47 sketchbook journals used to create it. Over 150 illustrations appear throughout this often light-hearted, often heart-wrenching tale of loss, resolve, and joy.

Most memoirs are about complicated relationships between people.
This artist’s illustrated memoir is different. It’s about Vision: Eyesight as well as Insight.

Reviewers Remarks:
A Simple Memoir filled with insight
It is heartfelt, funny, sincere, poignant, openly candid, and presents some deep insights into living in the moment. Facing encroaching blindness, Bobbie Herron still seeks out new adventures and presents encouraging ideas for doing so.

Binged in one sitting
If you loved “Look at That!” it’s time to read “Double Take.” If you haven’t read “Look at That!” I genuinely think you should start with “Double Take;” rarely do you get such a lovely, meta understanding of an artist’s internal conversations and creative genius as these books together.

An artist’s memoir, a universal story
I read this book right through to the end without stopping and wanted there to be more pages to turn. Bobbie Herron’s memoir should make the reader feel sad as she shares an account of the slow deterioration of her eyesight, her literal vision. Yet hope and inspiration are right there at the turn of every page as she shares her artist’s vision of beauty in the mundane. The reader also becomes an observer of Bobbie’s watercolors and sketches which are liberally sprinkled throughout the narrative. A kind of picture book feeling emerges as one’s eye is drawn to the art to soften the compelling narrative. This is a book I will want to come back to often both for its personal straight forward message of hope and to remind myself to look at my world through the eyes of love.

Available as eBook or 230-page paperback.
