"Shia Medallion" Peach Painted Medallion on Sterling Silver 24K Gold Vermeil 32 inch Chain

This is the first available in my shop of "Shia's Medallion"   

Features my painting "James Lort" inspired by my time on set as one of the makeup artists for the movie "Honey Boy". I was lucky enough to watch and help care for dear Shia as he transformed everyday, and I was incredibly moved and inspired by him to say the least. I helped Ken Diaz with Shia's clown makeup and felt compelled to try and paint his portrait after I'd seen him perform. It all felt so honest and easy as I painted it. It's a portrait of observation and wasn't sketched out. Being around him everyday was it. I started and finished it during the last two weeks of filming and gifted it to Shia on our last day. It's a very special piece to me as well as him. It absolutely contains a certain amount of artistic inception, and I think thats just the coolest. 

Features:

24K Gold Gilding, 24K Gold Plated Sterling Silver 32in chain (long, medium weight), Sterling Silver 24K Gold Vermeil, and fine jewelers resin, and acrylic paints. The medallion is constructed, sculpted, sanded, painted, gilded and finished by hand. Each piece is created over 2-3 weeks. 

Please note that some of the photos represent the how sparkly and reflective of light it can be.
