Daniel Stewart
One of the best classes I took at The College for Creative Studies was Color and Light. I use the concepts I learned there every day in my design work. I don’t think I would have gotten as much out of it if it hadn’t been for Daniel Stewart, the fine artist who taught the class.
He has a lot of patience, and also knows his stuff. During the semester we mixed countless paint colors to make other colors. Dan could tell me exactly what I needed to do in order to match one color to another. Or to make a color set on, say, a red background match another color set on a green one. He’s also very funny – an important asset in an early morning class.
I first learned that Dan was a painter from a fellow student who told me he painted bears with hearts. Funny, he didn’t look like a guy who painted Care Bears – the first image that popped into my head. She should have mentioned that they had giant claws, too.
Dan also has a series of dogs, known as Charlie. Charlie is fictional. His real life dog is very well fed and happy.
Dan and his wife, Iris, have since become friends. I’ve sold his work to clients, and used them in a show house I did a couple of years ago. To view more of Dan’s work and check availability, scoot over to his new website.

I’m looking for themes on my blog I am just starting. Do you think this type of theme would work for my photography blog?
