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.

Your painting is so detailed that it reminded me of something: whatever happened to the watermelons we ate when we were children? You know the ones with the big black seeds which we spit out? My brother and I used to pinch them between our fingers and see who's flew the furthest... (Genetic modifcation has a lot to answer for, I actualy miss the seeds)
I also miss the watermelons with seeds. I wanted to find one to paint because they are what I remember from my youth. I also think the seeds add a nice bit if contrast. The clerk in the produce department said that they get watermelons with seeds later in the season. I'm looking forward to it.
