I did the under-painting for this a couple of days ago and I finished it up this morning. It was a nice way to divide up the labor and unlike some of the things I paint, the subject didn't change appreciably over time. Sold
I was asked by a couple of people why I decided to paint these two objects together. They thought there must be some story behind it. I just did it because they're both yellow. 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.
