A compendium of daily image making by Craig Stephens

About Me
- craigstephens
- I am an artist living in Northern California. In 1993 I graduated from U.C. Davis where I took classes from Wayne Thiebaud, Dave Hollowell and Roy DeForest. I currently teach high school art in Placer County California. On this blog I have posted 1000 paintings in as many days. I took a break from that strict schedule for a couple of years but since the beginning of 2014 I have been completing one small painting on a daily basis. The practice of completing a painting a day suits my disposition and aesthetic. I have also found that modeling this sort of daily practice for my students is important. I am making these paintings available on ebay. Thanks for stopping by and check back often if you like what you see.

you just reminded me why I need to go back to Weight watchers!
very nice painting ...luscious in fact
Craig, looks yummy, great job.
Hey, is that Justin's danish? :)
I really need my late breakfast now.
Thanks you guys!
James, I was, of course, aware of Justin's great looking danish. One of the problems with this whole daily painting thing is that we look at each other's work and often see something that strikes a chord or sometimes we see something that we've already decided to paint and seeing it done by another artist might dissuade us from trying it as well. It's something I've wrestled with. I've experienced both and I finally decided to just go ahead and paint the thing that I feel inclined to paint and damn the consequences! ;-)
In this case I thought Justin's painting was so cool that I just had to give it a try.
I really appreciate you all taking the time to comment!
I think it is great that it has the bite out of it. I think that makes it yours.
