i have a son who is trying to make a business of
house portrait drawing.
ian moved to portland, oregon
a long time ago...
in the, is it eight? years he's been away
i've seen him twice.
only.
he does keep in touch, and lately decided to try
making a living from his
amazing "hoosies".

in process:
a note-tag for a bigger drawing
funky house of worship
a place to play
if you like this work, ask him to show you his heart.
it's amazing!
his portraits have such soul and humor,
and sometimes
a great, lovely sadness,
like life.
Ian's work is remarkable and wonderful. Our son moved to Kauai almost 5 years ago and we see him all too seldom.
ReplyDeleteReally just meant to say that I'm in sympathy with the long stretches between visits with your son. The years fly past so quickly.
ReplyDeletelove Ian's "hoosies" charming and very nostalgic, the cottage at the lake I spent my childhood summers at looked just like that. will you see Ian next summer?
ReplyDeleteThese are delightful to look at ... I enjoyed enlarging them the better to see the bits of whimsy
ReplyDeletewonderful work, so much personality in his drawings, the houses have come to life. xox
ReplyDeletestephanie, yes, he has so much "story" in the drawing, i do miss him...
ReplyDeletejean, wow, lake cottages bring back fond memories for me, too.
