Original.   In 2013, The National Portrait Gallery in London, had a great exhibit of the preliminary sketches of Renaissance artist,  Federico Barocci (1535 - 1612).  I was mesmerized with the depth yet simplicity of his pencil and charcoals.  When I compared his sketches to the finished oil painting, I thought, "meh" ...   whenever I need to change subjects to "clean out my cobwebs) I pick up a mechanical pencil.  Nothing quite like including eyelashes and a few wisps of hair.

This is an original work of art by California artist, Nancy Tokos.  She is a member with AMERICAN IMPRESSIONIST SOCIETY, OIL PAINTERS OF AMERICA and SAN DIEGO PORTRAIT SOCIETY.  Pencil on 400lb. Strathmore paper. Safely packaged and shipped via FedEx.  Please allow 1 - 5 days for shipping.  Save shipping and take delivery from my bricks and motar studio in San Diego, California.  Oil paintings + drawings are very handsome in "barnwood" frame.  My favorite is available at www.framesusa.com/wood-frames.*  The photograph colors may vary. Values may be slightly different from the actual oil painting and the image on your computer due to my digital camera settings, time of day the photo was taken and the monitor you are looking at right now.*

Shipping for continental USA has been included.  Shipping outside of USA will be recalculated. "Buy Now" reflects price of the painting, California Sales Tax (if applicable) and shipping within USA.
