| Jubilee at the Washington Athletic Club, Seattle. Oil on canvas, 24 x 30 inches |
Since
1930, the Washington Athletic Club has been at the center of Seattle’s civic life,
with members including the state’s prominent politicians and business leaders,
and even Olympic athletes.
This last
Saturday, the club kicked off its 86th year with this elegant
holiday party. Dubbed ‘the Art of Celebration,’ There was a Warhol room, a da
Vinci room, a Toulouse room, a Picasso room, and so on. I painted in the
Toulouse room, although a reveler asked me if I was trying to be Monet.
Tongue out
of cheek, people often compare my wedding and event paintings
to Monet. But
honestly, I’m not trying to be anyone but myself— and I’m not searching for my
own style either. I’m just scribbling as fast as I can, intent on committing
the evening to canvas. It is what it is.  | |
