From the day that Benjamin West drew a picture of his sister's baby, drawing was the only thing that he wanted to do. Sometimes it got him into trouble—when he drew cows instead of milking them, or when he used his cat Grimalkin's fur for brushes—but it led to some surprising adventures.
This is the true story of the young farm boy from Pennsylvania who grew up to become America's first world famous artist. There are several fun illustrations inspired by his life and work, as well as a few small prints of some of West's paintings.
