This is my paint bag, yesterday. It is one of those things I use everyday but don't think much about–until its gone. That's what happened a couple years ago when my old paint bag was stolen from the back of my truck. I never did a painting of that one. It was a part of my daily routine for 15 years. Yesterday I noticed how interesting the light was as it raked across the brushes and wrinkled tubes of paint. It was then I decided to do this oil sketch. Everyday objects become more important to us when painted. In this case my common tool bag became a subject for a still life painting, which makes it a little more special now.

Jasper Johns has nothing on you, Ron.
Your website was on my favorites list about a year before the idea of this blog came together. I simply love your work and at some point will make it to Pittsburgh to see your studio. Is it open to the public?
