I Painted Her at the Spider House

I think that this might be Silona Bonewald

I think that this might be Silona Bonewald, a local techie. She’s really smart – she’s working on “Transparency in government issues”. She’s kind of a local geek celebrity.

Lovely painting…I like the emptiness (negative space?) in the lower left corner…balances out so well. And the laptop just dissolving into the space below- I like that!

  Hi, Juicer.
  
  Thanks for the compliments; composition is my weak point, so I appreciate the positive input.
  
  Thank you,

  Hi, Silona.
  
  What a lark that you should stumble upon my BLOGUS MAXIMUS.
  I think that I have another, but I have to reshoot it -bad image. If you wear cut-offs, it’s you!
  
  Thank you,

    the cutoff one is definitely me…
    
    I wear those all the time 🙂
    
    I have been traveling so much last year hardly ever at my office (spiderhouse) any more 😦
    
    thank you!

    Hi, Silona.
    
    Although we’ve never met, perhaps time will be gracious to us in the future.
    Good luck on your endeavors, Smartie.

  Hello, Decibel.
  
  I have never met her personally, just have mutual friends through the Conjunctured boys.
  I think that is might be her, from the photos that I’ve seen.
  
  Thank you,

I absolutely love this painting! She seems so strong, so resolved, so confident. I would be honored to have you paint me! So great to meet you last night at the Bleet-Up Lavanna! Let’s get in touch sooner than later.
