I am offering prints of this original airbrushed painting. It was sketched with pencil then painted with urethanes on CS10 board. This print is original size of painting 14x17 and it is in a frame 20x22 with a mat opening of 13 1/2 x 16 1/2 if that helps you for figuring mat and frame. I did this painting while I was a member at the local art gallery. Some of my art work subject matter at the art gallery didn’t appeal to some of the members. They were more into flowers and such. So I thought I would do some flowers to show my versatility. I think they began to appreciate my work after that. A lot of traditional artists don’t really see airbrush work as art. I hope I changed their views. I also do commission work on request. Prices vary depending on subject matter and medium used. All my art work is protected by copy right laws.

I started airbrushing t-shirts for my buddy’s while attending vo-tech school for auto mechanics. Used to...
