More Description"If your palette is cluttered, your painting will reflect that clutter." The words, offered by artist and teacher, Rayna Hunt, introduce her students to the world of oil painting, but they apply to more than just her art. After an accident destroyed her hand and she began the long journey to reclaim her skill, she avoided clutter in her paintings and her life. Her quiet, uncluttered life is soon disrupted when an anonymous call to the police makes her a suspect in a case of forgery and art theft. Her students, a diverse group of ages and personalities are delighted to learn about art history, forgery, and oil painting, and take more than a casual interest in the case. Along with Stratford Museum director and previous romantic interest, Paul Lingstrum, and a Chicago police detective recovering from her own loss, they work to prove Rayna's innocence and solve the crime.
