Johnny Cash Country Music Legend Wall Art Print on Quality Canvas or Premium Rag Cotton Paper - Large Scale Big Sizes - Custom Available

Details

In the heart of a scorching Texan summer, right around the 4th of July, I embarked on a creative journey that would become a vibrant modern portrait of the one and only Johnny Cash. The Man in Black had cast his spell on me that week, with his television appearances and songs on the radio pulling me into his musical embrace.

My preferred painting studio? The great outdoors, where the Texas sun bathes everything in a unique and invigorating light, and colors seem to come alive. On this particular day, my horses had gathered around the edge of the pond, watching me set up my makeshift painting station. With reference photos in hand, I hit play on my Johnny Cash playlist and began to work.

As I painted and sweated under the relentless sun, I found myself singing along to every word of every Johnny Cash song that filled the air. It was as if the music had woven itself into the very fabric of the moment. Even my four-legged companions seemed to appreciate the musical serenade, while the ever-observant squirrels, well, they might have become Johnny Cash fans that day.

If hidden cameras were capturing the scene on my farm, they might one day reveal my unique brand of painting karaoke and paint-slinging dance moves. But in that moment, I learned a valuable lesson: Go big or go home. Do it all the way, or don't do it at all. Life, after all, is a canvas awaiting our brushstrokes, and there's no one right way to create.

Yet, here's the real revelation: Live your life in such a way that the stories about you are not just worth telling, but downright exhilarating to share. Johnny Cash, through his music, became the storyteller of our lives, weaving tales that are simply irresistible to recount. His songs are the soundtrack to our most memorable moments, and his legacy continues to inspire us to live life to the fullest, painting our own stories with every bold brushstroke.

So, as I put the finishing touches on my Johnny Cash portrait, I can't help but reflect on the man who sang the stories of our lives, reminding us that, indeed, the stories are worth telling again and again.

These are all available in full original color or vintage black and white, just mention it in the comments or shoot me over a quick message. See photos above for color and greyscale examples. If you don't see the size you need, just message me and we will work it out. This piece makes the perfect gift for the country music legend loving Dolly Parton fan!!!

Rag Cotton Paper prints are on Super Premium 100% cotton rag cotton paper ( the kind that lasts for 100s of years) This paper is GORGEOUS y'all. It has a soft, subtle texture and it just really looks super expensive... because it is super expensive.
The paper prints are limited edition signed and numbered collector's pieces ( hand signed by the artist in the studio). That makes them more valuable some day, we hope and pray.
The size of the print is the actual paper size. Theres a 1 inch white border around the art and the original signature and numbers are signed in the white portion at the bottom of the art.
These are not framed. It's just the fine art rag cotton paper print, signed and numbered rolled up and placed in a protective shipping tube.

Canvas prints are printed on 100% Cotton Museum Quality Canvas ( the same stuff you'd find in a fancy smancy art gallery... wait, maybe I am a fancy smancy art gallery?)
Rolled canvas prints - That just means that the wooden part doesn't come with it. It's just the canvas print rolled up and shipped in a tube like the paper one's. This is a perfect print of the original art with the edges extended a full 2.5 inches all the way around. That gives you plenty of extra for stretching your own canvas on either the skinny .75 thickness stretcher bars or the 1.5" gallery wrapped thickness. ( See the photo above on the listing to explain the differences between options.)
Stretched canvas prints - That just means that the wooden part, the framework behind the canvas, is indeed included. Stretched canvas is ready to hang right out of the box. .75 is the skinnier frame that you'd want if you're going to add a decorative frame around the canvas. You know, like a pretty, stylish, cool or funky frame. Anyway, if you want to frame your stretched canvas, go with the skinnier .75 option. If you want the gallery wrapped look, you'll want to choose the 1.5 thickness, for that thicker and bulkier side profile fine art gallery look. Both of these have finished edges all the way around so they look great right out of the box. Both are ready to hang, with or without framing. ( See the photo above on the listing to explain the differences between options.) Same with the canvas prints, no frames or decorative room stuff. Just the artwork.

I'm the artist, Marnie Miller, and I promise you this; I'm right here in the slap dab middle of it every single day and not a print leaves this studio that I didn't touch, inspect and verify clarity, color and the integrity of the artwork, MYSELF. Art is not what I do, it's who I am. This my dream and my life. I want you to LOVE your art and treat me like a friend. That's my quest.

I do take custom commissions from time to time. If you have an interesting idea or would like to talk about commissioning original art, I'm all ears. Lets talk about it. I LOVE new ideas and people... so people with new ideas are like biscuits and gravy!!! Fantastic.
