Dash 10x8
Some friends of mine asked me to do a painting of their dog. This is the first of several studies that I need to do before tackling the final piece. I'd like to get out to visit them so I can get to know Dash a little better in person. NFS
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.

I like dogs a lot. I should paint 'em more often.
