This painting is a published original thatwas used when making different mediums like Giclee and Lithographand any other print that were made of this painting, painted in 1995Titled "Abyss"This piece can be found on page 129 of Dan's book titled"Reflections Of Paradise"Which can be seen in picture # 9 of the pictures below! Thispainting is also the inside front cover of this book which canbe seen in picture #10 of the pictures below! In picture #2 Dan is holding 2 pieces of Fiddleback Koa Wood showingyou what it would look like if I were to frame it for you. You can hang it on the wall as it is with no changes whatsoever to it. Thisis how Dan has it hanging on his wall in his house, but if you purchase the "Abyss", & wish to have it framed in Koa or any other wood of your choice, then I will give you a price onthe cost. A ball park figure in Koa wood in the level of grainthat is used in the tile art work in picture #11, your lookingat about $600.00 if less I'll refund you. If you want to supplythe wood then I could make the frame for $225.00 that's withchamfered edges & a fancy cut on the inside of the frame!Keep in mind the size of frame would be 36" x 48" x 1 1/2"with a 2 1/2" thick from front to back of frame. It has to bethat deep in order for the frame to be able to extend pastthe depth of the picture from front to back of painting. Thispiece is painted on canvas & is stretched onto a heavy dutywood frame behind the painting, but it's beautiful just theway it is. With nothing but a wall to hang it on!!! Also included in this deal is a special Edition of Dan Mackin'sbook Signed by Dan himself!!! The "Abyss" looks to be so simple of a painting, when in essenceit's a very in depth painting. The complexity & intricacy required topaint a piece like this takes an unfathomable amount of talent and mental application to complete and not go stir crazy. When youstop and think of each and every "Reflection" in the water and howthe water goes to an immeasurable space into the "Abyss" of time!Just imagine how many thousands of square miles of water in ouroceans go to a subterranean and vast existence that we have no ideaof and how Dan Mackin can take that what seems to be so simple &be able to bring to life such existence from a white plain canvas. Onemight say there are no fish or coral, but look into the 3 dimensionaleffect that has been created & if you stop & think how mind boggledyou would get trying to paint this. Then add in the extra hard partand do all of this on a canvas of 3 feet tall by 4 feet long, and make each wave from above have the "Reflections" down below. It's justamazing the talent that God has given and Dan has expanded uponand for Dan to let this Original Oil Painting be sold is incredible!!!This piece has been one of the most popular art work to be sold inmany different mediums at Galleries, & here is your chance to own THE ONE & THE ONLY ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING THAT ALL THE COPIES WERE MADE FROM OF THE "ABYSS" Spectacular painting to see in person, the size is HUGE!The depth & the colors that pictures just cannot inany way be captured, I had a tough time photographingthis picture. No matter what angle I got at to shoot a picture it always looked different & took on different colors as I shot, almost to be compelled by fascination!I just cannot explain it, and since taking these picturesI seem to see it in a different way every time I look atthe pictures, like I was hypnotized by its beauty!WHAT EVER YOU DO, DON'T WAIT ON THIS ONE,OR IT WILL BE GONE FOREVER & EVER & EVER!JUST LIKE THE PAINTING ITSELF AS IT GOES"TO INFINITY & BEYOND"I'm putting this on a "Buy it Now" or "Best Offer"SO THE FIRST BUYER TO JUMP GETS IT!In picture numbers 11 & 12 is a sneak previewof the latest work of Dan MackinTITLED"NEIGHBORS"MOST GALLERIES HAVE NOT EVEN SEEN THISPIECE.
