mirror ball #4 5x7
This little steel ball has been creeping into more of my paintings lately. It's a simple but fascinating object to paint.

When I have seen this ball, I don't know why, I've immediatly though at the famous portrait painted by van Eyck : the husband and wife Arnolfini. Perhaps thanks to the mirror in the background.
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.
