A coworker brought these by for me to paint yesterday (thanks Jeff!). I was already doing the sardines so I did the tomatoes today. They're just normal tomatoes from the school garden but they had these lovely yellow markings. They sort of look tie dyed. This is my 400th painting. Sold
We have two or three of these spray nozzles laying around the house. I've had my eye on them for quite some time. The brass surface has a lot going on, color-wise. It was a fun challenge. 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.
