ROSE WITH FLOWERS

8 x 10" (20.32 x 25.4 cm) open edition / unsigned / unframed $50.00 USD + shipping

My printshop uses Fujicolor Crystal Archive HD printing paper with 100% acid-free stocks, which provide a longer lasting print. The prints are easily folded or torn, so having them framed is somewhat important for preserving their condition. They should be hung, if possible, out of direct sunlight for maximum color retention. Your shipment, whether it be a limited or open edition print, will be in a secure, cardboard mailing tube.

First off, I would like you to forgive me for talking about my past. It seems necessary. I sold traditional oil paintings through galleries throughout the western United States several years ago, and then I lost my taste for doing American landscapes, so, I turned my attention to corporate work. I did everything from branding design, to illustration in magazines and books, to direction in multimedia. Well…I got an incurable urge for fine art back, about 10 years later, having had a taste of everything that the world had to offer. I eat, drink, and sleep a different style of fine art now. My style is more modern, and strange, and rubbing shoulders with the surreal, and it is figurative, to be sure. My inspiration comes from Japan, all of Europe, and America, both vintage and modern. This collection of images invoke specific feelings. And I hope that with some time taken in viewing these images, you will have similar feelings. I also have a collection of charcoals, pencils, and oils that represent a snapshot of several years of work in portraiture at this site: http://www.nrusson.blogspot.com
