Art development

Tony Zhuravel's painting style incorporates a layering effect. His method interleaves textures, blending color and a subjective atmosphere within her imagery. He paints using unpredictable palettes, a spectrum of color. Indeed, his surprising use of color has become a distinctive attribute of his work. Tony's abstract western landscapes experiment with this concept of the horizon; austere western prairie bonded with a shifting sky. So much more than just a thin line, his imagery reveals the horizon's intricate variety in rich layers and unusual colors. All the consequences of an unaffected invention that results from intuitive strokes on the canvas.^[2]
