Fine Art
My fine art is generally focused on landscapes, trees and flowers. I paint in an expressionistic style that is loose and energetic.
I use my own custom made oil paint that I spent years researching and developing. I store my paint in jars sealed with argon gas to keep it fresh. I chose to develop my own paint to have working properties conducive to the type of painting I do. I need the paint to remain workable for 2-3 days and then dry quickly without wrinkling.
As I do a lot of commission work for exact clients exact wall specifications I build my own custom wood panels and frames.
My painting tools are vintage Japanese painting knives acquired over the years. The Japanese knives are hand forged for strength and have the perfect flexibility.
The easel shown on this page is a design I came up with and built myself to suit the specific needs of palette knife painting. The easel is counter balanced to allow vertical movement and rotates to allow my knife strokes to match the natural movement of my arm motion.
