Original artwork description:

New PMS Micro Painting series! All are oil on glass/antique frames and are affordable mini-paintings for your home! As opposed to starting with a blank canvas/surface, in this series I let the unique frame dictate the creation of each individual piece.

Artistic Highlights:

Preston M. Smith (PMS) has been commissioned to paint 12 paintings of President Barack Obama for the Inaugural Purple Ball in Washington D.C. (2009) and these paintings now are in the collections of Ed Harris, Ashley Judd, Patricia Arquette, Amy Brenneman, Josh Lucas, Il Divo, and more. He has also shown his work alongside David Lynch at a benefit for the David Lynch Foundation where his live painting was auctioned and sold.
