Apartment Therapy San Francisco did a post about 'car art' and featured my work!

"Oh, men and their cars! Such a cliche, yet one that rings true to life for many. Rather than hide your love of our four wheeled friend, why not proudly display it in a more subtle way than perhaps, oh I don't know, parking your car in your living room? Here is a roundup of some automobile inspired art, both originals and prints, to adorn your walls."

I am starting a workshop at the Kline Academy of Fine Art next month. Here is an excerpt from their online newsletter that describes the class. Space is limited. Please contact them for more info!

"The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real." Walt Disney
"My kid can paint that..."
well, not so fast. If it was only that easy...

Have you ever pondered the various ways of transforming your painting muse into an abstract expression of how or what you feel? Seems a bit complicated, but worth a shot, right? Following are some of Scott Yeskel's instructive ideas for abstract painting:

2010-header1. Take a photo of a specific scene that you are fond of, whether it's a Downtown busy street, the ocean, a sweeping meadow, etc. and
2. begin to understand its rhythm. Is it calm? frantic?

3. Does it overlap in size and shape,

4. is it warm or cool?

5. Next, take your picture and crop it, blow it up,

6. imagine it from a birds eye view.

Starting to sound interesting?


Scott Yeskel is a regionally acclaimed oil painter who paints both representational and abstract cityscapes mostly of L.A. In the tradition of Diebenkorn, Richter and De Kooning, Yeskel will explain the mesh between midcentury abstraction and realism and how it has evolved in today's art world. Learn to paint abstractly while staying intouch with traditional methods and techniques.
