Stephen Day
"Desert Morning" Oil Painting

2021

About the Item

Stephen Day's (US based) "Desert Morning" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts a Saguaro cactus growing with Prickly pear cactus in a vast desert landscape that leads to the mountains. Stephen Day was born in Sheridan, Wyoming, and, while growing up he lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Aspen Colorado, and Durango, Colorado. He always felt the wonderfully unique beauty of the west but until he became an artist he really didn't know how to fully respond to that beauty. Day is now a full-time artist living in Taos, New Mexico. Working mainly in oil he paints various subjects from life but the landscape is his first love. He says of his working philosophy, "I paint almost exclusively from life trying to capture the feeling and the mood of the subject before me. This work philosophy forces me to paint quickly to get a spontaneous and fresh response, because everything around us (including ourselves) is in a constant state of change." Day frequently paints on location and uses these smaller paintings to create larger studio paintings. Artist's Background: 1976 - Bachelor of Arts Degree, McMurry College, Abilene, Texas 1980 - Master's Degree, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas Studied at the Art Students League of Denver with Bruce Cody and Mark Dailly Workshops taken with David Leffel, John Encinias and Clyde Aspevig Studied with Richard Schmid at the Loveland Academy of Fine Art, 1994-1998
