Danni Dawson
Thursday, March 25th, 2010
I still have had a bunch of bill-paying projects that have kept me from do any paintings, so I thought I’d highlight another painter. Back when I was a struggling musician, as opposed to struggling artist, my musical partner and I befriended a Washington, DC master’s degree in painting candidate, Danni Dawson. She happened to be a dedicated fan of music, and sought out musicians to be her models. I vaguely remember that she met and painted Kris Kristofferson on his first tour. And a Canadian singer, Tony Kosinec, among many others. When she asked us to model for her, we were happy to oblige, and here is that painting. I’m the pensive one on the right.

Not surprisingly, Danni has gone on to great things, as you can see at her website. You should take a look at her beautiful portraits, as well as her luminous still lifes. I haven’t seen Danni since the early 70’s, I hope she won’t mind that I’ve captured one of her paintings here:

Blog re-design
Thursday, March 25th, 2010
Perhaps you’ve noticed that I’ve redesigned my blog. For my freelance life I’ve had to learn to design for WordPress, so I thought that I should take the opportunity to change the look of this site.
If you have any comments, I’d love to hear them.

Hello.
I'm Stephen Springer Davis
I'm a pretty much self-taught and pretty much unknown artist and designer living near Philadelphia. The plan is to tell you about my artwork, why I do it, maybe how I do it, and also about other artists who've inspired me along the way.
My definition of the term "painting" will remain intentionally broad so I can talk about anything that interests me.
