avocado #6 7x5.5
I painted this one for a friend of mine. It's pretty similar to a recent avocado that I did on a dark background. I like this one because of the variation in the cast shadow. Sold
Hi, I hope you don't mind, but I used this image in a design to announce an upcoming night of monologues by a friend (http://blog.bekahbrunstetter.com). Let me know if you do, and I will remove it. I have credited you in the blurb, and put a link to this site.
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.

Nice, are they propped up instead of laying down? I like it.

Amazingly creamy painting. Really great use of brushwork; it works quite well with the subject.
Stumble onto your blog whilst looking for Wayne Thiebaud and glad I did
