Original Artwork by Lynn Peterson.

Lynn Peterson is a world-renowned miniature artist who works in gouache & oils to create gorgeous works of true art for us.  Each pen, depending on medium & subject, takes upwards of 8-12 hours to paint by hand.  Lynn starts with nothing but a plain metal pen, fine paints & brushes, & her 30+ years of miniature painting experience to produce these works. 

1 of 1 Limited Original

Though Lynn works on larger numbered series of pens, being a true artist at heart, she loves to create rare & impressive 1 of 1 original works as seen here.  Lynn tells us these original masterpieces are where she "can spread her wings" & let her creative hand paint freely.

Materials

For this 'Louis' masterpiece, Lynn approached us with an idea for a musically inspired pen.  Normally our pens celebrate historic icons, why not celebrate one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time.  The cap of the pen is completely hand-painted in black and white gouache, save for the brilliant, 24k gold painted trumpet.  Armstrong's trumpet is what shined on stage, so should it shine through the painting.  The barrel of the pen is black resin embedded with slices of a vintage Louis Armstrong 45 vinyl record.

This pen is delivered in our gift box as a fountain pen (with ink), rollerball converter, & with a certificate signed by the artist.  As always, our pens are created, start-to-finish, in America.
