San Diego Magazine Article

San Diego Magazine, December 2006, Pg 42

A small article appears in this month's issue of San Diego Magazine about me and the concept of 'Daily Painting' and selling on eBay (it's the second article down). It's a short article, but hits all the major points on why I do what I do.

My thanks to author Julia Beeson, for her interest in my work, and for taking the time interview me. It was fun to read, and I appreciate the exposure!

I want to note to my fellow Daily Painters that in the interview I mentioned the group, the DailyPainters.com site, and even the links of several of you, but which did not make it into the article.

I really like the Hawaian flavored shirt. If I painted in that t would have a new design everyday.
Congratulations on the article. You are an inspiration and an example of how to add that spark of humanity to our daily work.

Well, Peter, I do live in San Diego, and when you're about to turn 50, you must start wearing Hawaiian shirts. It's the Law!

Okay, I confess, I "dressed up" for the photo-op... but those are my actual 'painting pants.'

I have to remember not to wear any new clothes when I sit down to paint, otherwise I will inevitably unwittingly contribute to my ever-growing collection of "painting clothes" (i. e. - those items of clothing that now bear one or more randomly-placed smears of oil paint), the majority of which are wholly unsuitable for wearing in public.

Thank you for your gracious words.

It may be a Hawaiian shirt but I'm pretty sure it's polyester flavored... :)

Congrats on nice write up, buddy!

Leave it to a best friend to denigrate your shirt material...

All my Hawaiian shirts are either cotton or rayon. No polyester in my closet.

I once read an article about how many polyesters have to be killed just to make one shirt, and from that day I swore I would not support that industry.
