Full Title: Study of Charles Mudede In Preparation For Buying Him Coffee And Painting Him From Life But Then I Had Other Obligations
During the pandemic, I made art to prove that I could even make art. One such endeavor was reaching out to Charles Mudede, Seattle’s greatest journalist, asking if I could paint him. He said yes, but I had to make sandwiches and teach my kids how to do window pane multiplication instead. Such was life in the pandemic. On the plus side, my kids are great at math.
