Query: A Painter of Pictures

I have great respect for writers who use words in interesting ways, to paint pictures and tell stories from a unique perspective. Ian McEwan is a master, and I enjoyed Atonement although it did drag a bit. I have also found another writer whose words intrigue me. Were Robert Frost or Claude Monet to employ pen or brush to craft an epic love story, Shade of the Maple by Kirk Martin would be the creation. Martin's lyrical prose fuses the drama of The Bridges of Madison County with the emotional weight of The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. McEwan and Martin provide a fine complement, McEwan dealing with heavier material while Martin soars.
