The Yellow Bench Portraits began one evening after a  well attended artist reception at Soap Gallery in SF.
 There amongst a handful of pretzels and countless empty bottles of beer, sat seven feet of yellow Naugahyde.
 The use of a forced perspective offered the inevitable humorous distortion, which freed me from the formal,
 the traditional, the poised and the seated portrait. These are some of the 50 plus Yellow Bench Portraits.
