Painter Nolan did his portrait in crayon and watercolor on paper (he has been known to use layers of paint burnished with one of his wife's nylons).

In Brackett Omensetter, the "wide and happy" hero of the book, he offers an archetypal antithesis: "Like the clouds, he was natural and beautiful, like a piece of weather in the room. Life eased from him like a smooth broad crayon line. He knew the secret...
