Another favorite! And how to you decide whether the tools are vertical or horizontal? I was having this discussion with a friend that is a pastel painter and she did this wonderful pair of scissors. She could not decide which way to frame it. Her scissors reminded me of your paintings and I told her about you.
Thanks for looking Lisa! I do so many paintings that I think I automatically assume I will eventually paint all of my tools both vertically and horizontally. That said, I often look at the shadow the object is casting and I pick the orientation that is most interesting to me at the moment
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.
