Blue Bond
Blue Bond is a Northwest artist who has over 40 years of experience in the art field, painting in oil and acrylic. His bold, colorful, realistic portrayal of people, animals, and vast panoramas are vivid; evoking emotion and depth.
In 2005, Bond was honored by being commissioned to do an oil painting commemorating the 60th anniversary of the end of WWII. The event, “America Celebrates Freedom,” which took place in Vancouver, WA, was the largest held in the United States, and sponsored by the United States Department Of Defense. Bonds painting appeared on memorabilia and the original is on display at the Vancouver National Historic Reserve Trust in Vancouver.
Another great highlight was an invitation to paint a portrait of one of the “Beautiful Lives Lost,” commemorating those who died in the mass shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2017. Blue chose to paint Rocio Guillen Rocha, a forty-one year old mother of four. Her youngest child was only six weeks old when she was killed. It is with great pride that her family has her painting as a gift, forever honoring her life. Blue enjoys commissioned portraits, and strives to create the best possible picture of his Subjects.
