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.

You can see a full range of my work in Studio 328 at the Torpedo Factory Art Center, 

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.

Remember When

Growing up many of us had chores where we could earn a little spending money. When I was a little, my brother and I would do the dinner dishes nightly. Both of us would get an allowance based on our chores. That allowed us to save each year for the trip to the Schaghticoke Fair in Upstate New York. It was the annual event that we looked forward to as the end of summer approached. I'm have started a series of paintings based on rides at the Fair.

Enough 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.
