Martin Arriola Original Art Benefit Auction

Martin Arriola, former lead designer on CARS at Mattel has generously created this beautiful painting as an charity auction showcase to help a friend of his with some health issues.

Martin
Of course, web resolution hardly does it justice but as with any true art, it is evocative on a visual and emotional level and a true sign of all great art (and artists).

It is painted with oil on board and titled “San Juan Capistrano Mission”.

This painting measures 16″ x 20″, and was painted on location/Plein Air.  It will come in a custom wood frame, created by John McCaw, which is alone is valued at $175.

The total size of the painting in frame measures about 24″ x 28″.
