To forget the season, soil, and sky is to deny existence.” So writes renowned landscape architect Roger G. Courtenay in \u003ci\u003eMy Kind of Countryside\u003c\/i\u003e. Whether walking the Piedmont of Virginia, canoeing the French Broad River near Asheville, North Carolina, driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or exploring Thomas Jefferson’s Academical Village, Courtenay turns to his local countryside for inspiration. In \u003ci\u003eMy Kind of Countryside\u003c\/i\u003e Courtenay delves into the nuances of his craft, inviting us to share his encounters with a myriad of landscapes and revealing how he then interprets these experiences in his sketches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Columbia College Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47056921002224,"sku":"9781935195160","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935195160_p0.jpg?v=1763656090","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935195160","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
