Southwest Classics

This is a collection with a “Vintage Feel”

“I enjoy the possibilities of applying color for lots of reasons- color has a specific emotional value for me. I like how it can transmit an idea, create change and meaning. I feel when I work with color ,that I’m discovering a language -one that is hidden in all things”Russell’s oil color on Sepia photographs are done with a special technique that has become a trademark.

The painting is hand done with traditional Marshall’s oil colors,
Russell has developed a special technique of removing parts of the color, creating unusual highlights and balances of light.

The color is not created in a computer.
