"Ben" is 5 x 4 feet, and was painted in the 80s while I was at SFAI. It is based on an illustration in a manual on riding that was written by my father's best friend, Ben Lewis, in the 1940s. I grew up with this book, and as I grew older I began to appreciate it for the surreal quality of the photos, many of which used ground-breaking techniques and views. This painting is a favorite among my fans. Don't you love his tie?
