Bottles & Bartlett Pears


24" x 24" — Oil/Canvas — 2009
• SOLD

My good friend Karin Jurick emailed me and said she spotted this painting in the June 2009 issue of Southwest Art Magazine, promoting my upcoming two-man show with Manuel Nunes at the Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento.

The article refers to me as Christopher Scott. Easy to do... Christopher Stott / Christopher Scott... see the difference? Even if you say it out loud you can barely hear the difference. It is a common error for the entire Stott clan. Everyone with my last name has a Stott/Scott mix-up to share. The upside is that it is easy to hide my identity should I ever need to. The downside is it makes it hard to Google me to find out more about my work.

Once I get my hands on an actual copy of the magazine I'll share it with you, along with many more paintings included in the show.

Story Time


16" x 24" — Oil/Canvas — 2009
• SOLD

This is another piece for my June show. It has pre-sold (along with 1:00, 2:00, 3:00) so I'm sharing them a little early.

Painting these books really lights my fire. I picked up the "It's Story Time" book at an antique shop near my house. Its red cover and the simplicity of the title really are a great contrast to the heavy, dark books.
