This is going to be a series of posts exploring the Harley Davidson Motorcycle art of artist Greg Benson....... starting with a short bio.........

Greg Benson took a winding road on his way to becoming a professional artist. Being self taught Benson considers himself fortunate to have achieved such a large international following. "I paint my memories and interests and collectors seem to connect with them," says Benson.

Greg Benson’s natural talent was evident at an early age but he had a variety of jobs before he decided to concentrate solely on oil painting. He decided to supplement his income by teaching painting in different school districts near his home and set up adult continuing education classes. After doing well in a national art show, a publishing company offered to publish prints of one of Greg Benson’s originals.

Greg Benson then started his own publishing company and has continued to publish limited edition prints since 1992. He makes appearances and exhibits his original oil paintings at select fine art galleries and national art shows including shows in New York, Chicago and Atlanta.

And now that you've read a bit about Greg, here's our first piece of art featured in this series ~ American Legends.

This is part of the"Wheels of Freedom" series. The many legends portrayed in this magnificent painting are not only America's first sports car or examples from our oldest surviving motorcycle company, but also, if you look closely you'll see other historic legends including the Native American Crazy Horse, a Viking ship, and one of our country's true heroes, the fireman.

All of Greg Benson’s limited edition prints are produced using only the finest museum quality acid free paper with colorfast inks.

Each aspect of producing every limited edition print is closely supervised by Greg Benson to insure it’s quality and integrity to the original oil painting.

Greg Benson’s canvas editions are produced using the same exacting standards and using the highest quality wrap-around artist grade canvas.

This particular piece of Greg Benson's artwork can be found at Direct Artwork right here!

We hope you've enjoyed this first in a four part series on artist Greg Benson.

Thanks for looking!
