May your imagination never fade, for when it does, our picture of life begins to fade, as this book will fade. I pray this never happens, for without our imagination, we are nothing.
“Imagine Art” by Henry D. Wingfield is a uniquely imaginative and interactive book that invites readers to become artists using only the power of their minds. Proudly published by Citi of Books, this is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retail platforms.
Henry Wingfield is an eccentric pioneer having lived all over America exploring many avenues of adventure & experiences including Woodstock (August 15-18,1969), Santa Fe College of Natural Medicine, participant in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, GA., and trainer for Sugar Ray Leonard for the Marvin, ‘Marvelous’, Hagler bout in 1987… Ray won the World Middle weight title, to name a few! Currently living in Sedona, Arizona & vicinities since 1989.
Rather than presenting illustrations or traditional artwork, the book offers a carefully curated series of vivid, poetic prompts—each one a scene, moment, or image described in words alone. Wingfield challenges the conventional definition of art by removing visual guidance entirely, encouraging readers to create personal images shaped by memory, emotion, and imagination. With blank pages intentionally left open, this book becomes both a book and a creative space, transforming each reader into a co-creator of the experience.
The book opens with the author’s heartfelt acknowledgment that he does not possess traditional artistic skills, yet feels compelled to share the rich visual worlds
that live within his mind. From this honesty emerges the core concept of Imagine Art: art does not require technical mastery, but imagination and openness. Each numbered entry introduces a concise yet evocative description—sunflower fields in Kansas, children swimming in a pond, pandas in a bamboo forest, a rocking chair in the sun, or a single butterfly resting on a tulip. These descriptions are deliberately spare, allowing readers to fill in details using their own sensory memories and emotional associations.
As the book progresses, the imagery expands across cultures, landscapes, and moments in time, ranging from bustling city scenes and ancient landmarks to quiet domestic spaces and fleeting natural wonders. The absence of illustrations becomes a strength rather than a limitation, as each reader’s experience is entirely personal and unrepeatable. The final entries turn inward, culminating in a prompt that asks readers to imagine themselves—a self-portrait shaped not by mirrors, but by introspection. In this way, “Imagine Art” gently guides readers from observing the world to reflecting on their own identity and creative spirit.
This book is compelling because it transforms reading into an act of creation. Instead of passively consuming content, readers are invited to slow down, visualize, and engage deeply with each prompt. The book appeals to artists, writers, educators, and anyone seeking inspiration or mindfulness through creativity. Its simplicity is deceptive; within its brief descriptions lies limitless potential for reflection and artistic exploration.
By trusting readers to bring their own visions to life, Henry D. Wingfield offers a rare and refreshing reminder that imagination is not something we lose—it is something we choose to use.
