New Series: “Little Green Footballs Collection”

“Little Green Footballs Collection: series #1″. 

The Artist has just received authorization to be an “official” painter of some extraordinary photographs of The Pacific Coast Highway.  Striking images from the photography of Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs. 

Check out the Page, “Little Green Footballs”. 

______________________________________________________________________

“Little Green Footballs” is a national treasure - and, to an extent, a sacrifice on the part of its owner.  We wish to assist.  The Artist is looking for a special buyer willing to join an intriguing adventure.  Ask for deatails.  Email: chieflywestern@msn.com.  Please note on subject line, “Little Green Footballs Collection”.

PAINITNG: “Chief Joseph (Nez Perce) #1″ (unframed)

“Chief Joseph (Nez Perce) #1″

We will be placing images of paintings over at “Fine Art America”. 

The “Chief” is sitting here as a sample.  But an unusual one at that.  This is an old piece.  In fact, this is the Artist’s first completed painting done far too many years ago.  (You can see that by its flaws!)  Now it is time to let it go - let it find a home.  Yours?
