Posted by sleepboy, November 10, 2008

Here is Part II of our visit to Jeff Soto’s studio (see part I here). Besides showing us some of his new work for his upcoming show at the Riverside Art Museum, Jeff also decided to let us watch him paint.

It was a real joy to watch Jeff at work and amazing how quickly he worked. See the process after the jump.
