ABOUT CALIFORNIA DAILY ART

PRAKASH N. CHANDRAS | ARTIST

The inspiration for this daily painting project comes from the poet Laureate David Allen Evans who, once in an interview, mentioned that he finds the subject to write poems from his everyday walk in the morning to his studio. His inspiration came from a blade of grass or a little pebble and was turned into a poem for that day. That every day activity of creation and of self expression has inspired me to create a new image of California everyday to encapsulate my own experience of living here in beautiful California. Two things I find very intriguing about this project, one, the surprise about the new image that comes every day and the other is the self-discipline.

I love to share these paintings with my family, friends and art lovers all over the world. I invite you to get into a habit of viewing this new California image everyday (make it your Home Page for a visual vacation to California every day) and also to view my other studio works, where new works are periodically posted as they are completed on chandrasarts.com.

 

I emigrated from India to the United States in 1970 and finished a MBA in 1975. After which, I decided to pursue a childhood passion of art at the distinguished Art Students League in New York City. An MFA in Painting was completed in California in 1983. Since then I have been practicing Art fulltime and since 1986 I have been instructing studio classes at local community colleges part time in the San Francisco Bay Area. I paint in my own signature style known as Linearism (painting technique using only parallel lines, developed in 1975) and using various mediums I paint portraits, landscapes, figurative art, abstractions. I also have made sheet metal, wood and marble sculptures. More information is available at chandrasarts.com.
