Well, I decided to buy both instruction books by James Gurney after being spellbound by the Color and Light one.
I also found the second one --Realistic painting of things not there---on used Amazon.
In it is this photo of James working on a painting with his muse:

I was stunned and amazed by that...since I had a muse like that when I was a kid and learning myself how to draw and paint.!
Also I was very intrigued by the Gamut Color mask system of color which he has in his Color and Light Book. I certainly did not learn about this at my University Training in art which I did after my professional training...while hubby was stationed in Vietnam. I had a full year of design and not a peep about this subject!
