For Father’s Day today I have dug up the watercolor lesson I recorded with my father, Michael Spakowsky, a few years back. Some of you may remember it…

He came to visit me in Spokane, WA. We did some singing on the front porch and I talked him into letting me record him giving an art lesson.

You will not be able to find out much about him online. He lives on Vashon Island in Washington. He is well known in the Northwest but he doesn’t do much to promote himself. He mostly sells his paintings by word of mouth directly from his small house tucked back in the woods where he works and lives.

I hope to be able to offer some of his work from my new studio/gallery that I am working on…perhaps then I could introduce his art to folks online.

Please enjoy these videos. Happy Father’s Day!

I had to leave my house on very short notice to visit a family member. Please keep this in mind if you find it difficult to reach me or I take forever to respond to emails.

Meanwhile, here’s the “condensed” version of the painting. I am not totally done…so I will post a final photo when I get back home.
