battersea power station nocturne Painting

I'm an artist in many styles , i like expressionism creating works that express my feelings on some subject like my own self portrait .I have come to realise that to create a certain idea I must use different techniques to get there . Even a photograph is uncontrollable and this is whats beautiful , I think a painting can be more realistic than a photo .Thus it is not the death of painting but another facet to the medium . Even copying a photograph is impossible often because the painter must change the reality to suit his vision .
