  4. Kathy Hodge's link sent me here also. These are "my" artists -- I've been working through Benton's autobiography to try to understand how he processes his visuals. Curry, Wood, Burchfield, Dixon, as well as the photographers -- all are amazing.

    Thanks.

  5. Incredible Post! I was wondering if you know what medium was used to create Roy Benzona's Old Man Wyoming? It almost looks photographic but I am sure it's paint. Thanks, Mark
