avocado #5 7x5.5
I like how a halved avocado manifests both negative and positive space. This one will go into my son's sandwich tomorrow morning. I managed to finish painting it before it turned brown. Sold
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 must have painted incredibly fast! The colours are gorgeous!
If I bought this painting... I would eat it! The flesh of the fruit looks so creamy and rich. Love the contrast between the greens on black.
Kudos on this one -- and many others.
I lost the bid on the Red Stripe beer a while back and haven't quite recovered. ;)
I love it!!!!!!!
