Wayson Jones art studio visit
Yesterday I was invited out to pay a visit to @waysonjones’ studio. I first met Wayson at a solo exhibit I had in DC in 2017, where he bought one of my pieces. Having Wayson buy one of my works was truly a high compliment, as I learned he’s an art legend of sorts in the DC area, and it was incredibly encouraging. During COVID lockdown we traded some smaller paintings through the mail, but I never actually got to hang out with Wayson until yesterday. I’ve followed and kept in touch with him through Instagram, and always loved whatever work he’d occasionally post about. To see it in person, and be surrounded by it is a whole other thing. I had such a good time, as we talked about art, music, education, life, death, and everything in between, and I ended up breaking down and buying one of his pieces, as it reminded me of @krisloyaart. It’s amazing how color, and even texture can evoke certain feelings and emotions, and I’m so glad to have the little painting now hanging in my home. After a couple of hours that quickly passed by, I had to get home to beat the heavy rains and flooding projected to occur throughout the DMV, but if I could have stayed longer, I gladly would have. Until next time! #waysonjones #dmvartists #artistsoninstagram #artistoninstagram #art #artwork #artstudio #supportlivingartists #painting #reliefsculpture #loudouncountyartist #showyourwork #artcollector #washingtondc
