Description:

Presented her is a fine opportunity to own an Original Randsom. This piece is a 11" x 17" Original OIL Pastel which sets upon 64 lb. cold press paper, 1 of  hundreds that derives from private live sessions earlier this spring  and summer in Northern California.

I like to converse first with my subjects, allowing me to choose colors and how I approach the whole session in general. In this session I attempted to capture the personality of the model using a loose approach. which I enjoyed considering I spent over 15 years creating hundreds of some of the most realistic etchings done by hand. A Dry Sand Technique I created 17 years ago out of pure necessity. My path had chosen me at a young age and always knowing I was to be an artist left me with no choice but yet to persevere through hardships of an under privileged childhood, I learned to adapt and use the materials i could find. In that case scratching on scrape cut outs of automobiles and rubbing in a silver compounded to preserve it. 

Creating mainly sports and music icons allowed me to break through and sell thousands of reproductions and many high end etchings for many notable individuals whom have collected my work in the past two decades.. Which a large majority were sold here on ebay and other online outlets. All of which were created ( including my chicago watercolor collection ) for the retail industry.. So this is a nice change for me to look deep into peoples hearts and hopefully connect.

 Novice or a Serious collector alike, must be able to connect to the piece to want to own  or collect it. Thats what my work is all about for me is to be able to relate and translate to everybody who views, buys and admires my work. I would like to say that my feedback is obviously low and please don't let that deter you from purchasing this and many other pieces. of mine. I have never sold  such expressive and intimate studies online before and am looking for collectors for a style that I hold high and strongly embrace! For it is I may be able to connect with you through my work. Thank you for viewing this and my other listings..
