Little drawings working out ideas… #lorrainetady

He told me he liked this photo. I don’t know how to reconcile right now the public Charles Dee Mitchell with the private Dee I knew, but I will miss our conversations and he will be missed by many. I enjoyed my outings and visits with him, right up until the end. We both loved drawing and I was always astounded by what he found and was able to share on his walls and in his books. He had such a variety of friends coming in and out of his amazing home designed by @wommackron Ron Womack (who he might be hanging out with right now bless both their hearts). He cared. Those New Year’s Day parties were to make sure everyone made it through New Year’s Eve ok. Among other things, I’m thankful he wrote about my work in July 2002 in Art in America as he was the “perfect viewer” in the studio conversations (a phrase coined by Carter Ratcliff about those who might look at artist James Bishop’s subtle work most carefully). He definitely had preferences about what he liked and didn’t like about art, but he loved artists and hearing about what they were doing and supported art groups generously. Yet I’m just going to miss him and the role he played in my life—a person, an art collector, a book lover, and a writer friend I looked up to and had the pleasure of sitting and talking with. Goodbye Dee and thank you. Thank you @templeshipley Temple for sharing the DMA Dec. 2nd 10 a.m. memorial gathering I’m unable to attend but others reading this might; and thank you @limabenjamin Ben for sharing the Dallas Morning News obituary coming out in Sundays paper. Feelings will resonate with connecting rings outward and many will feel.
