Splitter Product:Splitter strung on a strongRussell Thurston looks at every painting as an experiment and exploration, but also as a collaboration between his initial plans and what develops as he paints. Thurston works with encaustic materials and often embeds items from nature into his work. This encaustic and oil stick painting was created on heavy rag paper and includes a handmade oak float frame. It's ready to hang.
