I have been doing small still life paintings for a while now and I felt the need to shake things up a little. My classroom is a pretty cluttered, visually busy place. I thought it might make an interesting challenge to paint. I tried to approach it the same way that I approach a plein aire landscape. I tried to get the drawing and the colors accurate enough to create a convincing sense of depth and mass. I tried to edit out all of the unnecessary detail but I had to leave in enough to get an actual sense of the place. I'm going to do some more of these and see where they go.

I heard a song on the radio today and it got me thinking about crayons. The song is by Kristin Andreassen and you can listen to and buy the song "Crayola" from her MySpace page. It's the best song about crayons that I've ever heard.
