“Deck the Halls.”
Mr. Khomyk states on his website: “At the present time, I am painting almost exclusively on reverse glass. During the last hundred years, this centuries-old art form nearly perished. It is my ambition to help restore it. I find it an intriguing medium to work in, as it is unforgiving to error. My website (http://paintingonglass.com) currently contains over 225 paintings on glass, and we will be adding many more over time… Thank you for visiting my site – I am glad for the opportunity to share my work with you.”
