Modern Style and Finish

I work mostly in oils on a variety of different grounds including canvas, board and copper sheet. This enables a wide variety of different effects and finishes. For example, a forced aging of copper can produce wonderful, if somewhat unpredictable, green and blue textured effects that contrast dramatically with the reflective shine of the exposed copper. Whereas the smooth surface of a gesso board is ideal for rendering highly detailed patterns to provide a more decorative element to an artwork.
