Duane Albert Armstrong (born December 25, 1938) is an American painter, best known for his oil on canvas paintings. He was born in Fresno California, and was raised near San Luis Obispo California.[1][2] His foster mother taught him to paint as a child.[1][2]

His best-known works are his "Fields of Grass" series of oil on canvas paintings, which depict California landscapes and are noted for their inclusion of a small ladybug near the bottom of some or all of the paintings in the series. A story claims that he began adding the ladybug to his "Fields of Grass" paintings after a customer saw one in another painting and requested he add it to the painting she just bought.[citation needed]

He has painted over 7,000 paintings over the years,[2][3] over 185 of which are in print,[1] including reproductions by Heritage Publications, Illinois Moulding Co., Windsor Art Co., Turner Art Co., Continental Art Co., and Art Market International.[3] His work is included in the exhibitions of Stanford University,[4] the de Saisset Museum at Santa Clara University,[1] and in the Cal Poly Graphic Communication Support Program Gallery.[5]
