“Jazz”was created on very large hotpress paper, approximately 8 ft long by 5 ft tall. Using very large oil pastels I was able to use my entire body to make the fluid marks. The lines were part from life and part improvisation while listening to my favorite music. You can see more of my work at www.PEARONAWIRE.com.
