Souls Shot: Portraits of Victims of Gun Violence

ENJOYING - PORTRAIT OF SHARIF RASHEED WILLIAMS

batik painting on silk 20" x 30" 2017

 

From the artist:

 

Sharif Rasheed Williams was 32 in 2009. Before he was shot and killed, he was a "happy go lucky person", according to his mother Joanne Williams. he was outgoing and with a good heart and loved his children. He loved to travel and generally enjoy life. He was proud of his red Corvette and his blue razor pit bull dogs, Christian and Dior. He took his mom to a special Frankie Beverley concert for Mothers' Day. He worked hard and played hard.

 

In making this portrait I wanted to included the things that Sharif loved and enjoyed and try to make it fun and colorful, as it seems that is how he lived his short life. There are names of those left behind. As Joanne pointed out to me, killing one person wounds many others. The little boy in the piece is also Sharif, a sweetie with the same smile he took to adulthood. It was a challenge to pull this all together but I felt privileged to get to know, as best I could, this man in the photos. His name in the heart at the top is the tattoo his mother Joanne got after he was gone.

   

From Sharif's daughter Laniyah:

 

My dad Sharif was very outgoing, loving, and overprotective about his "pooh". He treated me like royalty, and anytime I needed him he was there in a heartbeat. Losing you had to be the worst thing that ever happened to me. Seven years definitely was not enough time with you and it left me mentally unstable. I remember getting the news. . . worst day of my life. I was just wishing it was a all a dream. Even until this day, I wish I could've just told him that I love him one last time. My last birthday spent with [him] was Dorney Park, I think. He got mad and we left early because nobody was listening. My dad treated me like the princess I am and you will forever be in my heart. I love you and I can't wait to see you again.

 

My father was a man who had smiles to brighten your days. He was patient and kind and the very best friend you could ever hope for. I can't tell you daddy, how many tears I've cried since the day I was told my dad had died. It seems so impossivle even though I know it's true, everything I see around me reminds me of you. I think of you most on your birthday, father's day, and my birthday. Happy some days, sad the other, but right now I can feel you in my heart and you are always on my mind. I just wish I could have said one last goodbye.

Something's Burning

First Edition

Reprise 6385

1970

My stepfather-in-law showed me his copy of The National Capital: Past and Present, by Stilson Hutchins and Joseph West Moore, Post Publishing, 1885. It's pretty interesting, especially the chapters about long-demolished houses and churches.

The first edition of the parkrun at Seaton. Saturdays 0900 from now onward. Watch out at the pinch point near the start, with people running through in both directions after a while.

 

Conditions were a little challenging for photography with mist and drops of rain.
