QUALITY MATERIALS POSSESS A COLOR SPECTRUM:
VIBRANT AND RADIANT - DELICATE AND SUBTLE.

The oil paintings often take many months, starting with drawing and gouache studies then progressing with layers
of oil colors. With proper care you may expect your aquisition to endure for hundreds of years (or more).
* Oil paintings are painted on high quality oil primed linen which is either: stretched on heavy-duty
hardwood stretchers or archivally mounted on wood panels.
* The works on paper are on a variety of high quality papers, all are archival and acid-free.
* The paints: Oil and Gouache are Italian or German and are the highest quality with the highest stability
and light fasteness ratings. Made from rare and precious minerals from distant mountains and far away
places for these paintings.
