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.

It was late, you were tired, but still you made your quota! Your adherence to a principle is quite admirable, Craig. I'm curious.. have you ever missed a day since you started?
This portrait didn't need the lead in ..it tells it all.

Thanks Chuck!
I haven't missed a day since I started. It's become a habit that I enjoy very much. I've gotten to the point where I like doing it even if my head isn't in it. The challenge for me is to focus and do my best no matter what. I think I've learned more than I would have if I only painted when I was into it or when it was convenient. I've posted a few pretty bad paintings but that's all part of the process. Sometimes bad paintings help you figure stuff out better than the ones that turn out o.k.
