The Eric Shane book, Jack Beal, published in 1993, includes an illustration of a 32 x 50 inch pastel drawn by Jack, and titled Downstream (View from the Studio, dated 1983-84. Jack named his studio "Epano." The full-color pastel was used by Jack to create this one color lithograph. Jack frequently reminded his students that it is an artist's right (perhaps responsibility) to "lie, cheat and steal."
