OIL PAINTINGS OF WILD NATURE

Richard Tiberius and Kiry Tiberius are father and daughter oil painters who share a studio, a love of nature, and a unique technique of oil painting using painting knives on hardboard. Their art features a wide range of three-dimensional textures and striking impressions of color and light which express the unique forms of their wild subjects. The perspectives of their paintings range from traditional landscapes to intimate portraits of nature bordering on the abstract. 

So you can get a better sense of the detailed knife work, we have used high resolution images throughout this website. We ask for patience as images load.
