A Late Tribute to the Late Alan Rickman

It's been 9 years since my favorite screen actor, Alan Rickman passed. I remember getting a text from my daughter, "your cinema crush died". I was devastated! I loved his low, sultry voice and that smirky smile.  He embraced every role he played with a serious Shakespearian actor's fervor. He seemed to get better with age.  The millennials associate him with the dark character, professor Snape from Harry Potter but I think his most endearing roles were Dr.Lazarus (Galaxy Quest) and David Weinberg (Dark Harbor). I painted this rendering of him with loving care and hope it fondly reflects his likeness.

Heaven's Latest Addition to the Choir of Angels

Barry saw a new estate auction that popped up on Facebook. It included the personal belongings of the late Olivia Newton John who sadly passed  2 years ago.  Among her estate items were several of her own drawings, crosses, mirrors, watches, clothing, and a Bible. It inspired me to draw her likeness. Sweet and angelic...Sandy from Grease. She lived near us in the Santa Ynez Valley and I had the blessing of meeting her and talking to her during one of her fund raisers. I just remember how kind and sweet she was and how her personality matched her perfect voice. Yes, without a doubt, the Heavenly  Choir welcomed this new angel with open arms.  May this rendering remind us all of this beautiful soul we lost.
