Colin Page, a remarkable person, cool dad, and a friend and mentor to so many artists. Colin is uber creative and his paintings offer a fresh perspective. His color palette (love) and the subject of his paintings (also love) are out of this world and diverse. After much deliberation I chose to feature the painting, Again Tomorrow. I’ve always been a fan of Colin’s table top scenes, they’re so creative! He can paint a still life in the most interesting way – and to read that each painting has meaning & memories is very cool. It’s akin to a singer that sings with passion. A painter that paints passionately will turn out stunning paintings with a depth that is hard to replicate.

If you’re on Instagram and are not following Colin (@cpageart), I highly suggest it (link below). I love to read the stories of each painting and I love that he takes the time to do just that. The stories are fabulous (I’m not kidding) – For instance, check out the painting (on Instagram, Pirates – Colin’s two children – and the story behind the painting. What a cool dad is he? His two girls look like they have the time of their lives.

Here’s the blip for the above painting, Again Tomorrow, from Colin’s Instagram:

My still lifes are stories of family, friendship, and many cherished memories. These tablescapes tell a story of color and pattern, along with being a portrait of life at home. Each object connects me to a memory: baking a cake with the kids, sharing books with a friend, a mug given as a trophy for coming in last in a sailboat race, the Pictionary board my siblings and I used as kids. At their best these still lifes are a life story told in objects.
