I have owned this about 15 years, but I am moving across the country and must let some things go. This is a beautiful historic piece. Valuable outside of the frame, this one comes in a nice heavy frame. Anna Ray was a sketch artist for CBS and was involved in the Snail Darter Trial, which lead to her handling the James Earl Ray Brushy Mountain Prison escape trial. She assisted Steve Oglesby by sketching James Earl Ray for his documentary "Ray, the Man". James Earl and she were married for 14 years. James Earl Ray, died in prison while serving his term for the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King. Quoting the artist, "My paintings are currently done with Acrylic Liquitex heavy body paint. It looks like oil, but is even more durable. I always use this on canvas. My painting starts with a pen and ink, then ink washed with pastel highlights as well as what I call "controlled splattering". This allows me to use many different colored spots with a brush, to give a soft, yet colorful impression of scenic features. This gives my art a stained glass type of look, which leads the viewer to imagine it's a place they would like to go."Painting like this one start at $800 to $1000, but this one is offered for quick sale at a reduced price. It will be professionally shipped to your destination by Fed Ex or UPS.Measurements: 52" wide, 42" tall
