Welcome to the website of Randy L Purcell

Since 2009, Randy has been transferring the ink from recycled magazine pages onto a thin layer of beeswax.

The result of his process is a collage-like image with an amber glow, giving a unique twist to every subject he creates.

“We have shopped all over the world for art, and we had not seen anything done like the way he’s done it.”

Brenda Wood

I created this little painting a few months ago and forgot to share.
.
It’s 8x8” and it was sort of a study of shapes and color.
.
I titled it “Loose Translation” even though I really wanted to call it “Kitties” 🤣

Today I had the opportunity to talk with some Siegel HS students about the life/career of an artist. I’m always amazed at how receptive the students are and much I benefit from talking about my work. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did. 😎
Oh, and in the hall I saw this recognizable portrait🤣 @panzerbuilder @sisavanhphouthavong @mtsuart
