"I'd Rather Be Painting: The Story of My Journey from Finance to Fine Art" from Christian Faith Publishing author Donald Dean Langford is an incredible, inspiring true passion story that chronicles the history of a man who gave up a stable but dead-end life in banking to pursue his lifelong dream of being a professional artist in California, a decision that took him on many rocky paths, dead-ends, and severe trials of body and spirit, before his determination finally won out and he went on to become a successful, professional artist for more than thirty years.
MEADVILLE, Pa., Oct. 05, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "I'd Rather Be Painting: The Story of My Journey from Finance to Fine Art": an astonishing memoir of true passion. "I'd Rather Be Painting" is the creation of published author Donald Dean Langford, a professional painter with a colorful past now in his late eighties, remarried and living in the Monterey Bay area.
Langford shares, "When I planned to escape to California from a rather mundane existence in the small Midwestern town of Montgomery City, Missouri, I think I expected to find some sort of a Hollywood happy ending there. I wanted to have a perfect home with a white picket fence like I had seen in so many movies. I am surprised that someone didn't sit me down to try and reason with me before I left. I think there were quite a few people, including my parents and other family members, who were struggling in their own way, perhaps wishing they too could find a path to a better life. That may be why I got no real resistance when I decided to leave. Maybe they didn't think I was serious. I suspected they thought I wouldn't make it and would
return. I knew I couldn't."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Donald Dean Langford's new book is a compelling read for anyone who needs inspiration to follow their hearts and trust in God, no matter how tough the road to their dreams may get.
Langford lays bare the full, honest story of how rocky such a path can get, and yet how it will be more than worth it in the end.
