Jim Leedy is one of the last of that first generation of Abstract Expressionists–meaning Pollock’s generation.  In fact Jim used to hang out at The Cedar tavern on Long Island.  I won’t divulge his age, but suffice to say that the 40s and 50s were the decades that formed him.  I visited his Studio last week at the request of a client, who is considering his work.  As always, seeing Jim and his retinue of dogs was a hoot.
