To purchase, email diane@dianerussell.net

Artist Comment:  “I photographed Poncho Sanchez several times at the Vancouver Wine & Jazz Festival, and in 2015, I was fortunate enough to meet him and give him a copy of this drawing.  We had a short conversation about how I used two photos to work from for the drawing, which he related to because it was much like his own art (music).  He asked me for my contact info which I think means that he liked it!”

Thara Memory III

Pencil on Stonehenge, 14×18”
$300
To purchase, email diane@dianerussell.net

Artist comment: I have been photographing Thara Memory for years, and have created numerous portraits of him. But this is one I couldn’t resist. He was performing at Jimmy Mak’s and was sitting on stage, viewing the audience, with that expression that says it all. So I took the photo and ran with it…
