Certainly made many memorable pieces of art on a scale that makes my 5x7” prints feel utterly puny. RIP.

I recall his hillside covered with large colorful umbrellas in the Gorman Pass between LA and Bakersfield, Ca......Sadly, my primary reason for recall was the result of one umbrella breaking loose during heavy winds and hitting some poor lady in the head killing her......
