Heaven and Earth Forbidden Rare Black Double Corona Fuente Opus X Cigar On The Ice by artist Michael John Valentine
This is the darkest richest cigar I have smoke in The Opus X product line. Bourbon with large ice cubes that make noise in the glass as they spin in my hand. The background is from a Seaplane in Juneau Alaska over the glaciers and mountains. As the ice cubes started to crack in my glass they reminded me of the glacier ice fields and how amazing the blue ice looked. Note the subtle rim of the glass as it frames out the cigar

Hello My name is Michael John Valentine and I have been involved making art for over 55 years. I started off at 10 years old at an art institute in Ohio and completed my education at Kent State University with a Bachelors of Fine and Professional Arts Degree.
I have always beed fascinated by photography and spent a great deal of time doing things in the old school dark rooms.
I love the way acrylic paints set up vs the long dry time of oils. Canvas is my go to mixed media surface since it lets me gallery wrap or send out my work in a tube.
I have a studio in Huntersville North Carolina Lake Norman.
Mixed Media suggests that photography, canvas and acrylics all meet up for original abstract works of art.
It is not framed because it goes in a protective glassine sleeve and ships in a heavy duty tube. This process assures you that it arrives undamaged . By shipping this way you can take it to a framing shop and have it mounted and framed to your liking. A certificate of authenticity accompanies this acrylic painting.
