Description :
This vibrant 1980 acrylic painting by Danny Mayes captures music legend Stevie Wonder with the joyful, expressive energy that defines both the artist and the subject. Mayes uses bold, saturated greens and yellows to create a lively backdrop, while Stevie’s iconic sunglasses, broad smile, and flowing hair are rendered with loose, confident brushwork. The portrait radiates warmth and personality—hallmarks of Mayes’ early figurative work. Signed “MAYES ’86” in the lower right, the piece reflects the artist’s signature blend of realism and expressive color, giving the portrait a sense of movement and musical rhythm
Artist Bio — Danny Mayes (American, b. 1950s)
Danny Mayes is a Pacific Northwest painter known for his bold brushwork, vibrant palettes, and expressive depictions of regional life. Born in Tacoma, Washington, he originally trained as a boxer before earning a scholarship to the Burnley School of Commercial Art (later the Art Institute of Seattle). There he studied under Northwest master William Cumming, whose influence is evident in Mayes’ gestural linework and dynamic compositions.
Working primarily in acrylic and watercolor, Mayes paints street scenes, maritime subjects, Alaska and Northwest landscapes, and character‑driven portraits. His work has been collected by the Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Mariners, and numerous corporate and private collectors. He exhibited widely from the 1990s through the 2010s, including shows at Kirsten Gallery in Seattle’s University District.
