Beauty is one of the most universal and timeless themes in art. Throughout history, artists have been fascinated by the human form, especially the female form, and have tried to capture its essence and express its meaning in various ways. Beauty is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also a matter of culture, values, emotions, and ideals. Beauty is subjective, relative, and dynamic. What is considered beautiful in one era, place, or society may not be in another. Beauty is also influenced by the personal preferences, experiences, and tastes of the artists and the viewers. In this book, I present a selection of my paintings that explore the concept of beauty in different historical periods and artistic movements. I have been a working professional painter all of my adult life, and I have always been interested in the history of art and the evolution of female beauty in art. I have studied the works of the masters and learned from their techniques, styles, and visions. I have also developed my own style of painting that combines realism, impressionism, and fantasy. I use realistic details, impressionistic colors, and fantastical elements to create my own interpretations of beauty. My paintings are not meant to be exact copies or reproductions of the original artworks, but rather my personal homage and tribute to them. I do not intend to imitate or compete with the masters, but to express my admiration and appreciation for their art. I also do not intend to make any definitive statements or judgments about beauty, but to invite the viewers to explore and enjoy the diversity and richness of beauty in art. I hope that this book will inspire you to discover and appreciate the beauty of art and the beauty of women in all their forms and expressions. I hope that this book will also inspire you to create your own beauty and share it with the world.

More than fifty years in the making, Paul Tipton's Strange New Cowboys: My Vietnam Stories conveys the experiences of the young American men sent to fight the confusing and controversial war in Southeast Asia. Using a unique approach to fiction, mixing poetry and short story vignettes into the traditional narrative passages, Tipton gives the reader up close views of emotionally challenging episodes in combat, in boredom, in escapism, and after the war the personal challenges of coming home, of reconnecting, of finding one's way in a hostile and newly unfamiliar America. In the Preface to Strange New Cowboys, author Paul Tipton writes, "The stories are based on my experiences in-country and on the people I met while there. They are fictional stories, although too much of it is factual and I carry those parts with me daily. However, I am no hero and the characters in these stories are antiheroes. These are the stories that my experiences have generated over the last fifty years while trying to work out what really happened-and why."
