Oil Painting
Painting with oils is really my first love and the reason I continue to be an artist. As James Elkins states,
"To a nonpainter, oil paint is uninteresting and faintly unpleasant. To a painter, it is the life's blood: a substance so utterly entrancing, infuriating, and ravishingly beautiful that it makes it worthwhile to go back into the studio every morning, year after year, for an entire lifetime."

If you've ever wanted an original oil painting, but didn't think you could afford it, here's your chance. I can work from a single photograph or several if you have them. I can also paint you into a fantasy scene upon request (fee will vary). e-mail requests and pictures to ManzanaresArt {at} gmail.com
