Hi there, great work you have in your gallery, and glad you stopped by to view my works.  Every Tuesday I try very hard to make a piece in 1/2hour, but these took a full hour to put together. 

 Keeping the drama on the canvas~

Renuka,

These are just wonderful, just wonderful. I love the way you handle color

Thank you!!

Your art is also very expressive

Hi Renuka,

Your plans will be good for you if you going to Petersburg. There are terrific the Hermitage
Museum and the Russian Museum there. You'll find a plenty of masterpieces
there for your interest as to painter. Specially I would like to pay your
attention to "Madonna Litta" by Leonardo Da Vinchi. It is small masterpiece
(size with 19" inches approximately). There are the images been enveloped
with soft silver light and these images are created with great craftsmanship
as well as it was not made by human hands!
Concerning someone to be a free artist as it is difficult deal  require from person the actions for diverse compromises but it give a certain free for artist. Everybody is make his choice by himself!
It is a great craft for important mention but it is not for the current time
because the present time has complex decisions for creativity!

Best regards,
And

Thank you for your kind words about "Stretch".  That particular piece was painted with molten beeswax, resin and pigment on birch.  It's not an oil painting.

Thanks for stopping by....best,

Steve
