Jed Dorsey arrived in WA with a base of paintings for his first solo show in his home state.

He’s been painting full-steam ahead this past week adding to the already impressive collection. Here he’s painting on the deck of his dad and mom’s home on Camano.

A few days ago Jed and his older brother Jason spent the afternoon painting together in the studio.

 

The life of a full-time artist is that your never really on vacation because of the importance of putting bread on the table.  Artists who make a living off there art are always thinking about, or working on, their new painting. Jed has found creative ways to spend time with people, including visiting with them while he paints. Here he is visiting with his friend Merle.

This allows for grandparents and uncles and aunts to spend special time with Jed and Renae’s daughter Willow who as a princess should always be entertained. Her uncle Jason took her to sparkly Mabana Beach, which was the highlight of his day.

Meanwhile, the machine is in gear to throw a big party for Jed’s solo show, his first solo show on Washington, on the Island he was raised.
