Portrait of a Singer

Here's a drawing of my friend Helen, who is a musician-- she writes very beautiful songs and sings them at various places-- now mostly on Zoom song circle meetings . . .  Here is her bandcamp page:  ​https://helenchaya.bandcamp.com/

I sketched this quickly, while listening to her sing at a Zoom meeting.  I think that is the first time I've drawn a musician while watching on video . . .

August Art -- at Low Bar

8/12/2017

0 Comments

 
This August I have artwork up at Low Bar . . . it is a very nice bar/restaurant in downtown Vancouver.  They have a dramatic and awesome way to display art there-- there are three recessed panels where pictures are hung, with lighting.  They also have amazing food . . . I had a Greek salad when I was there for First Friday, and I think I have never had so many kalamata olives before.

The series of pictures that is at Low Bar is the same as what was up at the downtown library for just a few days in July.  But at Low Bar, they will be there much longer, through Aug 30.

Come and take a look!  I will put a few pictures of the setting here, but these are small in format and don't show how long and tall the three panels are; each panel has three color pencil pictures hung on it.

I'm getting ready to bring a set of framed pictures to the downtown library . . .  these will be included in a show featuring myself and three other artists.  

It begins on First Friday, July 7, with a reception from 5:00 to 8:30 . . . and will continue through Saturday and Sunday. 

I hope you can make it to see them while they're up!  
The downtown library is on C street:, 901 C St, Vancouver, WA 98660

Sketches from the Music City

5/29/2017

Here are some sketches I made while attending a music event in May, in Nashville -- It was the Objective Sessions, an opportunity to learn about the goals of The Extreme Tour, a music tour that reaches out with free music concerts that bring a positive message.  There were also great opportunities to learn and develop as a music artist.  I am a songwriter, and found these four-day sessions to be very helpful and inspiring.  

Please note--

Enroute, on the plane . . .

This was an Air B&B; there were musical instruments all over the place . . .

This event is entirely run by volunteers!  Here are a few of them getting ready for sign-in.

You better not whine at Puckett's -- there is a $5 fine.  
​This grocery store and restaurant was the place for an after-party.

What could be more fun than an open mic?  This is inside Puckett's.

There was an interesting plant in the window-- maybe a cactus? -- at this Air B&B.

I sat across from this person, waiting to get on the plane to go back home.

Have just started on an art journey . . . it will last 5 months, and there will be a new project each month.  It is with a group called "Make Art That Sells,"  and it looks like a great way to learn more and get some more portfolio development happening.

This is a compilation of some sketches I made this week, on the theme of 20's hairstyles --
