Original African American Painting Oil Pastel Black Folk Art Unframed Signed

  
This is a one of a kind original painting. Johnnie, an African American artist is incarcerated, has been painting about three years and is self taught. He has donated many of his paintings to support a program that allows men to earn their college degrees while behind bars. He has a rare eye disorder and is diagnosed as legally blind but still manages to create beautiful works of art.

This is called "Still Away" and is one in a series of Johnnie's "stained glass" paintings, hand painted in oil and oil pastels on canvas. It is unframed (does not come with a frame) and is signed. There is a small smudge in the lower right hand corner. Color may vary slightly due to lighting.
