Optimism No. 2 - Original Abstract Painting by J. Kent Martin

Description

This original mixed-media abstract painting by J. Kent Martin is inspired by aerial views of farmland and the ordered patterns of roads and city streets.

Painted on reclaimed masonite panel and professionally framed, this unique original artwork is ready to hang.

The original art is 14" high x 11" wide with a finished framed size of 19.25" high x 16.25" wide x 1.25" deep. Each piece is signed, titled and dated by the artist on the reverse side.
