Conan by Michael Golden

A fantastic commission that I just purchased from Fons Van Erp.When Michael was touring Europe last year, Renee showed me the sketches he had done at previous appearances on her I-Phone and I was awed by this one. When Fons uploaded it on his gallery, I was pleased to see someone I know and like got this gem. Flash forward earlier this year, Fons contacted me in the prospect of selling some art. Obviously, Golden came up in the discussion and I was surprised he offered that one to me. Now about the piece itself. Golden Conan painted covers are mythic. I'm not very fond of the character but here the pure savegeness, sense of brutality and movement got me instantly. Plus all the details like the moving necklace, the arc made by the open arms, the flashed blood make for a very elegant piece.I could not be more happy. So thanks again for the transaction, Fons, you know whot to call in case of emergency ;)
