Autumn. Technically it is still summer, but I’m thrilled autumn is so near. Over the past week I’ve begun setting up ambitious plans for paintings during the next several months. I already have several in the works. I’m looking forward to the results.
Hi! Christopher Stott,
Wow, the question for me to ask…How do you improve when it comes to your paintings?
This painting called Five Barlett Pears II is so very…beautiful and realistic.

I can’t wait to see what the future hold when it comes to your plans for your upcoming paintings.
Thanks, for sharing!

This is really exquisite. Lovely composition and color.

Hi Christopher! I really like your paintings. How do you decide what size canvas to paint? Do you choose your subject first, arrange it the way you want, and then decide how big you want to paint it? and do you usually take a picture, and paint from that? (I would imagine with fruit, you would have to..)
Hello Leann,
The size of canvas I choose is based on what the results I get while playing with the subjects. As I set things up randomly, I usually wait for something interesting to happen. And I decide what size the canvas is from that.
I use photographs I take of my compositions as inspiration, not as a hard and fast rule as to what the painting has to look like in the end.
