Eles se descrevem como: I’ve been told my portraits capture essence, and that I don’t apply makeup I render a face. I strive to capture that as well as the hidden biographical nuances by looking intuitively. Working to produce a lasting personal revelation yet still keeping the photo realistic quality in the image. Sometimes it’s like opening Pandora’s box. All Images © Keith McDowell
Interesses pessoais : Taliesin West was one of my favorite places to draw sitting on the guest deck looking over the beauty while playing with a new subject. I learned so much as an artist there while teaching rendering to the apprentices yet as always I was the pupil.
Tiny Dancer was incredible to do. I called Maxine Taupin, and asked her if she would let me draw her, without hesitation she said "yes". On that piece I took the photographs I drew from I wanted to create the feeling of the lyrics in the Elton John song written by Bernie Taupin, Tiny dancer in my hand. The song has always been one of my favorite songs. Thanks for the inspiration Elton, Bernie and Maxine!
Inspired by the remake of the song For What it’s Worth by Berlin's singer Terri Nunn. Terri has that piece in her collection. Terri was an amazing subject both as a drawing as was applying her makeup . Her Academy award-winning song from Top Gun Take my Breath Away is amazing.

Interesses artísticos: I enjoy rendering historical figures like that of Academy award-winning actress Anne Baxter (All About Eve) with her famed architect grandfather Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright (Guggenheim Museum), and Mr. Wright and Oglivanna Lloyd Wright. Yet the classic cinema imagery is a fun arena to explore as well.One piece I rendered of Anne Baxter, is in the collection of Anne’s daughter the very gifted lifestyle interior designer Melissa Galt whose godmother is one of my favorite talents Hollywood’s costume guru Edith Head.
