Art of Don DeLeva

Dreaming Coyote  I have started drawing. It is much more immediate. This drawing was created on Strathmore Toned paper with graphite and Derwent Inktense blocks / pencils, 9"x12".  I think it is still a work in progress, we will see how it progresses.  02.09.2022: Up date to this drawing, it will be showing in the Biophilia Show ,  April 30, 2022,   in Twisp Washington . I  am extremely excited to start to sell my drawings. You can also see more drawings and paintings at:   https://opensesamegallerybooks.com/portfolio/don-deleva    

Kitter Kat, graphite on scratch paper 2.5"x 3"  

  Always open 24-7 , graphite on hot-press water color paper, 4"x6", 60$ framed. Currently, this drawing is hanging in a show at the Artist Craftsmen in Seattle. The theme of this show was food. My first thought was how much electricity mining cryptocurrency devours for each transaction.  My second thought was how the average American home has some 75 outlets that feed lights and appliances.

 134- Painted from 5:15 am to 7:50 am. Though about building html site from code in an a 1990s style.

March 25 2021 In The Company of Crows & Ravens March 13 - May 1, 2021 In the Main Gallery Curators’ Statement The family Corvidae embraces Crows, Jays, Magpies and Nutcrackers. Members of this family are wonderfully intelligent, mysterious and magical. Corvids are social, noisy, aggressive, playful and mischievous. They eat anything from fruit and eggs, to nuts and carrion. We see them playfully completing aerial maneuvers, in the company of eagles at a deer carcass feast, or being mobbed by small birds after raiding a nest. They will follow hunters, coyotes, or wolves and alert other scavengers to help open up a carcass; some cache seeds that if forgotten will become future trees. They mimic, they teach, they learn. They are iridescent and striking, and provide a rich source of inspiration to create art. ~ Curators Jennifer Molesworth & Caryl Campbell Thank you Jennifer, Sarah Jo and Caryl Recently, I had 2 paintings ...

  50% might be best It's always the way of the pendulum swing, back and forth like a smack that stings.  One way which and when the next direction then offends, affected by polls and dollars you spend.  Both extremes seem detrimental to all, and when we only allow one society falls.  It is not my place to tell you what is right, I am just standing back and watching the fight...

 As if it weren't deep enough i have been told that it is real. I mean i saw it for my own eyes. You know in the city where you are sold and bought like aviators on your preexisting phone plan. It is here in the organization of the logical soup of ones and zeros mixed with electric calculations on the seventh layer of code we all move in a non-gravity world .   Yes starlet you truly are hard your, jeans and studded belt tell me so.  "Smart patrol, no where to go. Suburban robots that monitor reality. Common stock, we work around the clock. We shove the pole in the holes." ~ Mark Mothersbaugh.

In the dust of the New Now her face slowly rises. And ...CUT!  Here they see her cold and confused, which just adds to her sex appeal.  "Which do I choose my darling?"  Then she finishes off her double tall non-fat mocha late, re-applies her MAC lipstick, flips her hair and clacks off into her fade screen with Jordash jeans and Minolo heels.
