Clementine Dam #2 7x7
In spite of the fore casted rain, it was mostly clear today. I took the opportunity to get back out to Lake Clementine to paint the dam again. I'm trying to be less fussy in my painting.
I really like the directness of your brushwork, and paint quality, Craig. This one has a nice abstract quality of design. I'm a regular fan of your work.
Thanks a lot you guys! This is a great place to paint. In the summer time there is no water coming over the top but it's still a pretty impressive edifice. I'm looking forward to painting it in other conditions.
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.

I really liked Dam #1, but now I find I like this one even better! Nice Work!
