I want to take a moment to remember Dave Baab,
a wonderful artist and a good friend who passed
passed away April 9th, 2026.
♪♪
Dave was a talented watercolorist
and his beautifully rendered paintings
often focused on familiar places in Seattle
like Green Lake and the Arboretum.
Dave had great reverence for nature,
for people, for animals, and his paintings clearly
reflect this deep appreciation for life in all of its forms.
Dave also had a strong faith, and after he died, his
good friend Kevin Henney wrote these wonderful words.
“The writer C.S.
Lewis talks about this amazing
thing that happens when we grow closer to God,
that we actually become more and more our true selves.
This miraculous dynamic that the closer we come to divine love,
the more we become what we were created to be,
the more we discover our unique selves.”
This paragraph captures Dave's very essence.
He was his true self and he knew in his bones who he was.
Dave Baab loved by so many will be missed always.
