Tombstone

Shawn McNulty
Acrylic and Pumice on Canvas
40×80″ (Diptych)
2017

Tombstone is a huge blue abstract painting on canvas by visual artist Shawn McNulty. This is a diptych painting, which means it is two 40×40″ paintings side by side. They can also hang separately if that is your preference. Each canvas is is 1.5″ deep, gallery wrapped with painted edges, and ready to hang with wire on the back.

Fun Fact: Sometimes I look back on my work and wonder how it happened. This was during the time when I was doing almost 100% with my feet. There is a Western motif, which is what brought me to the title Tombstone. Each panel looks like a different scene from a movie, and there is clearly a horse character on the left side. Tombstone is a 1993 American Western film (loosely based on real events in Tombstone, Arizona) starring Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton, Powers Boothe, Michael Biehn and Dana Delany. I’m your huckleberry.
