I don't know about you, but I have snow-white shaggy clouds in a bright blue sky for a long time and strongly associated with a sunny summer or spring day, a picnic on fresh green grass and other positive pictures. Therefore, the artist, whose works I want to show you today, can be safely called "the master of summer positive" or "the shepherd of heavenly lambs".

And Jeff Faust's "heavenly lambs", that is, clouds, "graze" in every picture, and even where they seem to be out of place. However, this is what he is all about: violins flare up on the painter's canvases, oars grow from tree roots, eucalyptus leaves swirl over thin porcelain balls hanging in the sky, and it is not birds at all that live in the cages, but the clouds passionately loved by the author.

By the way, perhaps some strangeness of the work is due to the fact that the author rarely draws his pictures, keeping an idea, an idea in his head. According to Jeff Faust, the plot of the painting changes in the process of its creation, and often he begins to paint, thinking about one thing, and when the painting is ready, it turns out that it turned out completely different from what was originally imagined.

And the author also dreams that his painting will become a kind of "armchair" for people. "As a rule, an armchair is comfortable and upholstered furniture, where a person sits down when he wants to relax, or even take a nap. The armchair is associated with comfort and positiveness, and I really want my work to become the same" armchair "that I want to come back again and again, which would only evoke positive emotions, "says Jeff Faust (Jeff Faust). Well, obviously, the author often visits his white and fluffy characters, hovering in the clouds of dreams!
