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 art at Chana High School in Auburn California. On this blog I have posted 1000 paintings in as many days. Lately I have not been as strict with my painting schedule although I still update this blog regularly. I want to do some larger paintings that may take me more than a day to complete. Unless marked otherwise, these paintings are for sale. Please direct all purchase enquiries to Elliot Fouts Gallery. If you are unsure about the availability of a painting, please don’t hesitate to email me.

I love all your paintings of food, especially the way you render transparent surfaces (like wrappers and bottles).
Also, I'm jealous of how very prolific you are! I have a hard time starting projects sometimes...a whole "fear of failure" thing. Apparently this is not a problem for you. :D
Thanks for the comments meredith!
I have found that the more I paint, the more used to failure I get! Painting often prepares me for the more common types of failures (common for me any way!) and I am constantly on the lookout for them. A painting is really nothing more than a series of assessments and corresponding adjustments. The more one does it, the easier it is. The assessments become more complex and refined over time but the process is the same, trying to make one's work come closer to hitting the mark.
