Illustrated with lush reproductions of Grant and Nixie’s art and photographs of their amazing garden, The Romance Continues is a love story, an art-appreciation adventure and a garden tour, all wrapped up in one gorgeous volume. Nationally known artists Grant Leier and Nixie Barton are also husband and wife, parents and the creators of an astonishing and whimsical garden on Vancouver Island. Their paintings differ greatly, though both artists make extensive use of rich, luminous and vibrant colours, and both are widely admired and collected. Over their long careers, Grant and Nixie have experimented with subjects and styles, and observing the growth and change in their work is fascinating. When they moved to a rural, seven-acre property, they turned their love of colour and sense of fun onto the land, and the rambling, witty garden they created is a visual spectacle that draws thousands of delighted visitors every year.

Goody Niosi is the author of Magnificently Unrepentant, the story of Merv Wilkinson and his sustainable logging operation at Wildwood; Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives: Recipients of the Order of British Columbia; and Nanaimo: The Harbour City. She writes for the Nanaimo Daily News, Harbour City Star and other publications.
