Great Things

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together. And great things are not accidental, but must certainly be willed.

These original one-of-a-kind oil painting is on Birch Cradle Board that measures 8” wide by 8” high by 1.5” deep.

Dennis Crayon

I strive to make something that will be around well after my lifetime. With an individual point of view, I have worked on creating unique pieces of art, that adds whimsy and at the same timea "what is real" feeling to my work.

I has been a fine artist for over thirty years I am active member of Washington, D.C.'s artistic community. Recently took a new career path as a full time artist and was juried into the Torpedo Factory in 2017.

A Little About Me

My process begins with a close, realistic translation of the photo, but as I continue, I blur the image. Things start out in focus and then, by the end of the painting, some of it is not.
