Jeff Hayes is an artist I have followed for several years - he paints very elegant, sensitive still lives, so distinctively his own. I particularly love his smoky edges on some - very dreamy, very sweet touch.

'Teacup No. 2'
by Jeff Hayes
Jeff is featuring a different artist every month on his blog
State of the Art - including his personal thoughts as well as an interview with each painter - and I was his pick for the month of June. He and I share a mutual admiration for each other's work - and I'm very proud that he chose me for his current article - which you can
