Circa early 1970's, impasto art oil painting by renowned Pacific Northwest artist Russell
Produced in Seattle.
Russell artwork has a recognizable style to it, that makes it so you will know their art when you see it! Dark walnut solid wood frames that extend over the highly textured impasto painting, typically painted on industrial strength board.
Vintage condition with the slightest chance for very minor wear to be found. A couple very small dings to the wood frame that could be cleaned/blended with some oil or wood stain. It is also typical to sometimes be able to find a very small tiny spot of wear on the highly textured artwork too, if you are to look very very close. See less
