Dennis Crayon has been painting since he was very young. Dennis took private lessons in high school; He got his BFA in Graphic Design from the State University of New York at Buffalo and later as an adult went to the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston for painting. As he has grown older his work has gotten more precise Dennis considers himself a contemporary realist.
As a still life painter, Dennis works with oils on canvas and panels, using color and position to convey contemporary composition, combined with a classical painting technique. Each of his paintings features extreme attention to detail, especially the effect of light as it hits objects. I recognize the value of craft in my painting and continually work on my technique and style.
In his current still life’s Dennis is combining objects from his youth along with contemporary object with the hope that the combination of these elements will give a unique vision or view point
Dennis is an active member of Washington, D.C.’s artistic community. His work has been shown locally at Gallery West, Spectrum Gallery, Light Street Gallery, and the Art League of Virginia. He also has had work exhibited in Boston and San Antonio.

I paint still life paintings combine the technique of the Old Masters with a modern sensibility.
As a still life painter, I work in oils on both canvas and panels, using color and position to convey Modernist composition with a classical painting technique. Each of my paintings features extreme attention to detail, especially the effect of light as it hits objects. I recognize the value of craft in my painting and continually work on my technique and style. My influences include Caravaggio and Vermeer, as well as contemporary realists Claudio Bravo and Scott Fraser. I make my work personal and contemporary, reflecting life around me.
As a child in upstate New York, I started drawing at an early age and took private lessons in painting still lifes and landscapes in oil. I found great joy in painting and enjoyed early recognition at school and in my community.
I have a BFA in graphic design from SUNY Buffalo and a diploma for the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. I have been a fine artist for over 20 years and I continue to take workshops in the indirect oil painting process.
I am an active member of Washington, D.C.'s artistic community. My work has been shown locally at Gallery West, Spectrum Gallery, Light Street Gallery, and the Art League of Virginia. I have also exhibited in Boston and San Antonio.
