I’ve never been much of a rock fan, but I know the influence
that Jimi Hendrix has had on rock music, and even I can listen to his riffs and
appreciate his innovation.
The bronze statue of Hendrix on the corner of Broadway and
Pine on Capitol Hill has been on my list of memorials and monuments that I want
to sketch. Sculpted by local artist Daryl Smith, the statue captures the
intense passion that I imagine Hendrix must have expressed during concerts.
Leaning up against a wall of the Blick Art Materials store as I
sketched, I felt that passion, too.
