A Long Stem Rose Painting

Very few of my works are isolated to a single medium on an individual piece. I utilize nearly every medium under the sun, from the less forgiving shine of gold liquid gilding to the traditional grace of turpentine and oil. I never shy away from a product, each medium, having both its strength and its limitations, call for some experimentation before they start to play a part of a new inspiration. The more mediums I get my hands on, the ideas and visions I have for my paintings experience expansion. For me, only using one medium would be only ordering one flavor of ice cream, it might get boring! I am someone whose palette likes to roll through the garden of flavor, color & texture.
