“Destiny No. 1” June 6, 2020. This painting started out as a warm-up doodle that turned into something! I was practicing my brush work with an interpretation of a tiny gold silhouette on the spine of Bill Presing’s book, “Belle du Jour”. This “doodle” ended up being this feisty young lady. I had been wanting to develop a series of strong pin-up style characters, and this painting seemed to finally capture the feeling I was intending. I shared this with my friend Liz, who promptly shared it to her FB page. Less than an hour later, Liz informed me that her Friend, Marsha, wanted to buy it. We agreed on a price and five days later, Destiny was in Marsha’s hands. After she received the painting, Marsha shared how she felt about the piece. She told me, “It’s what I think I look like in my head. Hahaha! Especially when I’m feeling myself. It reminds me to be proud because I am beautiful. Black is beautiful.” So true! And so much the feeling I was hoping others would have. Thank you, Marsha, for letting me share your part in Destiny’s story. I plan to continue this series as long as it inspires feelings of pride and self-love. -Ad https://www.instagram.com/p/CBo75-xJOfV/?igshid=1lhails7c0zzd

SPSI Spring Art Show Opening I got into a local juried show! Please save this date, February 28, for the Opening Night of the SPSI Spring Art Show, 6:00pm to 9:00pm. Many local artists will be featured. Paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs and mixed media will be on display. I’ll be there with five of my graphite portraits, probably holding a glass of wine, ready to talk about art and art life in the Pacific Northwest. There will be poetry readings, artistically set tables, food & wine, music, new friends, and of course some amazing art. It will be a fabulous show! SPSI, (The Seattle Psychoanalytic Society and Institute), was founded in 1948. SPSI trains mental health clinicians to provide psychoanalytic treatment and trains researchers in the application of psychoanalytic theory to various social settings. SPSI hosts a Spring art show and another in the Fall that usually corresponds with the Madison Park Art Walk. Because SPSI is an educational institute, and the art is in classrooms, unlike a gallery, it is only open for public art viewing the night of the opening, so save the date!! https://spsi.org/event/spring-art-show-opening/ #invitation #artshow #springartshow #art #openingnight #event #artevent #graphiteportriats #pencildrawings #pencilportraits #pencilsketches #pencilart #poetryreadings #birds #birdart https://www.instagram.com/p/B8CxpaGJoK5/?igshid=sbo79hz7hqgq

Kerry & Shon’s Beagles” Oct. 2019. I created this portrait last Fall of my friends Kerry and Shon’s lemon and tri-colored beagles sunbathing on the porch. Kerry and I met in early September at my friend Liz’s House. Liz likes to hold painting salons where the wine, and paint flow along with the music. Kerry dropped in to witness the creation in progress. Kerry checked out my portfolio, liked my work and asked if I could do a portrait of their two dear beagles who had passed away recently. Duley and Rusty had been with the family since they were pups. They were survived by their Boston Terrier brother, Shasta. It took Kerry a little bit of time to find her favorite picture of the lads in their prime, but when she did, I went right to work. She agreed to my plan to enhance the picture by removing the door frame, pushing out the porch and adding hidden parts. She also asked me to pay attention to Duley’s left eye which was obscured by shadow. This required additional reference that Kerry provided during the process. I shared sketches with Kerry along the way to show my progress and to confirm I got the details right. I only had time to work on it on the side. 18 days later I had the finished product, matted and ready to hang. Kerry instantly fell in love with the final art. Sadly, a week after I delivered the portrait, Shasta also passed away. I’m hoping to do Shasta’s portrait soon, so he can be immortalized as well. https://www.instagram.com/p/B75MQ-apxau/?igshid=1o0p5t6js3iru
