Whats Going On

“What’s Going On”

48w x 60h

With all happening in our world today, this ‘peace’ has so many meanings that still ring true. $1200 ✌🏻☮️ & ❤️

Technicolor is the motion-picture process using dye-transfer techniques to produce a color print. While this is not motion picture, this original painting was certainly a process.
