A compendium of daily image making by Craig Stephens

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 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.

Love the dark background. If you study old master still life's you will see them use the dark element, powerful.
Thanks Mike.
I notice that when I first started doing these small paintings I experimented more with different colored backgrounds and now I tend to just switch back and forth between dark and light. It wasn't really a conscious decision to eliminate colored backgrounds. I just think that over time, preferences start to emerge and ones painting develops in a certain direction. It's kind of interesting.
