I always keep that little sketch in front of me when I’m doing the finished painting so I can capture the energy and vibe of that initial idea.

This is one of those stories.
Whitney Deal survived a life-changing accident while saving her children’s lives. During recovery from a traumatic brain injury, losing the ability to walk, to speak, her therapy team asked her to visualize a serene place. A place she could internally visit when things became too painful.
She saw a hammock between two willow trees. Flowers. A breeze. Salt in the air. An ocean somewhere just beyond view.
When Whitney, now deep into her recovery, described the scene to me, we presented her with a handful of artists who could bring it to life in a painting.
She immediately knew that Gavin Glakas was the natural choice.
We brought everyone together. As Whitney talked, Gavin began sketching, translating her words into a composition in real time.
It was fascinating to watch. The furious sketching. The erasing. More sketching. A scene pulled from the imagination, not a pristine photograph.
Over the months that followed, that vision, those sketches, became an oil painting.
Recently, we traveled together to Baltimore to hand-deliver it.
The moment Whitney saw it for the first time is in this reel.
There were plenty of tears.
This is Whitney's story. Gavin helped tell it with decency, curiosity, and such immense talent. It was an honor to bring them together.
This one means a lot to all of us.

This is a big commissioned “portrait” of a house for a fascinating couple in Washington, DC. The painting is something like 46” x 56” - based on a color study I did at sunset, sketches for perspective, and numerous conversations over martinis in their gorgeous library.
