Jonathan David Batchelor was such a man. An unusual child, he evolved into a very eccentric adult with an archetypal free-spirited nonconformist existence. Part I of his story revolves around his upbringing and closeness with his musical father. Sadly, Jonathan's mother succumbed to mental illness when Jonathan was but a wee bit lad. Because she had to be institutionalized, the boy was without a mother for his younger years. Father and son were a family unit unto themselves and struggled through the Great Depression. Jonathan was a self-taught painter, although he did seek instruction from two Southern California artists who set his imaginative heart flaming. As a young adult, he explored Carmel's art colony and eventually landed at UC Berkeley with a WPA job. The WPA work gave Jonathan stability and also brought him together with his first wife.About the AuthorJulia Rosenstein, kindred bohemian, fit well into both the free-spirited community of Canyon and Jonathan Batchelor's life. She grew up in a family of artists and today continues with painting. Writing was unexpected; \"Well, someone should write Jonathan's biography, and I guess it might as well be me!\" she cheerfully remarked.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Antoinette Rosenstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1968491325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781968491321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Studio of Books LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.78d","brand":"Julia Antoinette Rosenstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47424809337087,"sku":"9781968491321","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ad6870d-f845-4f95-9f74-dbcffb003385.jpg?v=1761532670","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/last-bohemian-julia-antoinette-rosenstein-9781968491321","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
