Query: Phil Hale Copycat

I give this book two stars just to acknowledge the technical skill, but Foster's work disturbs me every time I see it, as a painter myself, nothing irks me more than a fawning painter who admires and copies another artist's style to the point of not really having a unique style of his own. Phil Hale is a better person than me beacuse I would have sued this guy by now. As an alternative I recommend ANYTHING with Phil Hale's work in it...a true master.
