Shoe #15, Yellow Retro Shoe Painting by John Randall Nelson

Mat Tomezko's latest series of abstract mixed media paintings are constructed from traditional acrylic painting and the incorporation of ash into a hand-mixed paint of his own creation.

This painting is signed and dated on the back. It includes all hanging hardware and is ready to install -- no need for additional framing.

His work is in the collection of The Wharton...
