Sid Larson 1923 - 2009 R.I.P.

Sid was one of three people in my life that inspired me to be an artist, now with his passing all three are dead. Sid was my painting professor at Columbia College, he was also Thomas Hart Benton's assistant and friend; his influence was great on me, more so than I probably ever wanted to admit but never once did he restrict my style to favor his style (often seen in Art schools) or deter my search and exploration of Surrealism.
