Promesse Celate by Pietro Capone

   All of my paintings are created out of a deep passion for poetry. My work explores the relationship and fusion between painting and my compositions, as if they were the notes of a visual diary. In my art, the figure is broken in the shadow to allow words to emerge, because it is always in the depth that poetry resides.

  Being enamored with Van Gogh's colors and texture palette, I thought I would recreate Van Gogh's self portrait as a Bas-relief in clay, to capture his use of thick brush strokes and vivid colors!

Portrait of Khayori writing a song by DeNaya Wilkerson

 Khayori has since passed away but we were once a couple. Music was his life. I watched him stress over songs, lyrics, the world and 

where he wanted to be daily. Up days and down days. He often talked about having a dog in the future

so I drew him with his dog. I hope khayori's passion and focus translates through.

Victoria’s Dream by Carol Gallion

  This young woman, Victoria, was leaving the next day for a new city and a job for which she had been studying. Aside from the fact that she was quite lovely I was interested in getting her skin tones and hopefully portrayed what I saw as excitement and perhaps a bit of trepidation as she contemplated her immediate future.

Rachida by Justin Alsadek

I painted this piece for Brookesville Florida’s Mobile Mural project themed “Tangerine Dream”. 

In the painting we see a young women caught in the middle of a daydream. We get the impression that she has a playful imagination with her hair transforming into a shrub filled with a bounty of tangerines, inhabited by butterflies and humming birds. While it may be playful I intend for the piece to also remind the viewer of our connection with Mother Nature. We are stewards of the earth and our relationship with her should be symbiotic. I dream as Rachida here that the natural world be treated with the love and respect it deserv

es, so we may have a fruitful future for generations to come.

 

The girl is named Rachida, which in Moroccan means “one who is guided in the right direction”. I chose this name for as my above statement reads I wish for this piece to help remind the viewer of our direct connection to nature. It is my hope to spark awareness that may help lead people in the right direction, which is back to truly caring for Mother Nature. Why did I give her a Moroccan name you ask? The origins of the Tangerine were believed to have come from Southeast Asia and they received there name because they were exported by traveling through the port of Tangier in Morocco.

Portrait of Podcast host TLC by DeNaya Wilkerson

He smiles big and has a signature bald head and white beard. He modeled for figure drawing at The Maxx, and it was a no brainer to cook up this drawing of him.

Portrait of Daddy Wilkerson by DeNaya Wilkerson

  It's almost impossible to find photos of my dad because he doesn't like to take photos. 

I love to draw my loved ones and drawing dad is no exception. When I see him, I see me.

I love his smile and his nose and the way he dances through the kitchen singing.
