Riley was a modern-day Howard Pyle and the mentor of many tremendous artists (James Bama, who revolutionized paperback cover art and made Doc Savage famous again, Roger Kastel, who painted Jaws, Bob McGuire, and many others)."

I have a original oil painting by rodger kastel and can not get much information on it. it is a painting of a western scene. maybe the cover of a book? i would like to have any information on the artist that you may be able to give me. thanks tina
