Life is a blank canvas that the deity has made. He is the architect of our existence. He did, however, leave the canvas blank in order to create the best picture of our lives. It must be performed entirely by us and not by anyone else. Allowing someone else to design it may result in dull colours on your painting. Experiment with new colours on your canvas to get the most out of it, as it is properly stated. You are a self-taught artist who creates your own life. No one can create a better canvas than you. Give it your all since an artist is only concerned with filling the canvas with authentic colours. “The Blank Canvas” consists of several co-authors from all over the globe who have dedicated their inked verses as a poem, quote, micro tale or a short story which revolves around the open theme. We are hoping for the great success of this book, a free anthology launched by The Little Booktique Hub Publication in which none of the co-authors are charged a single penny throughout the publishing process.

Laura Magee is spending the summer in an art gallery in the southern New Jersey shore town of Safe Harbor. When a dispute over a painting by a man named Rafferty leads to the murder of one of her customers and puts Laura herself in danger, she must discover the identity of the killers and find out what makes a painting valuable enough to kill for. Then the FBI becomes involved, and Laura realizes that this crime has more layers than she ever imagined. On top of all this, Laura must deal with an insecure artist who only paints sea birds, a friend who has a track record of dating the wrong men, the amorous attentions of a handsome vacationer, and her old college boyfriend, who shows up on her doorstep suffering from PTSD and just happens to save her life. This fast-paced mystery has a strong sense of humor, particularly with regard to contemporary art, and a surprising conclusion. You may never look at an art gallery the same way again.
