“Fascinating idea to combine travel art into a book and a website community! Intimations is a short, very colorful e-book that introduces readers both to Dave Alber’s artwork, writing, and travel journeys (He’s been on the road around the world for years.) and to his Travel Art Adventurer’s Club. Alber’s paintings and drawings, along with the sometimes accompanying text, help readers connect with the cultures in which Alber has chosen to immerse himself. Seeing these slices of life in full color renderings make the scenes come alive. Alber captures expressions beautifully, such as the example of child in the cart on page 28.”

“Visual Storytelling Par Excellence! Travel artist, Dave Alber’s “Ravages Of Time & Permanence Of Wonder” is visual storytelling par excellence! Dave’s work marries his images in traveling through both high and low aesthetics in Modern Contemporary Art using a diversity of artistic mediums. I am struck by the sheer joy I experience that is expressed in this visual narrative. In my encounter with this book I marvel as if a spirit that wanders alone through the world also leads one to a threshold transforming spirit to wonder, that witness who shares with others in simple happiness what there is that is eternally possible to share through art.”Stephanie Pope
