every little thing she does is magic

This month I feel like I am doing an elaborate ballet on a tight rope... one thing that amazes me is how much a person can accomplish when they have no time. It seems tasks that used to take me hours are now accomplished in minutes. I should apply this sort of regime to my normal tasks... maybe laundry and grocery shopping could be honed down to mere seconds. seriously though... no time. anywhere. Today the painting was inspired by my friend Oliver Kriston's photography. She did a lot of photography for Burlesque shows a while ago and this photo of Trixie... I found to be totally captivating... as http://www.jenniferdsandquist.com/store/p115/Magic.html   so one day I sat down with a hand full of those black and whites and did a few fast paintings... the results I liked quite a bit. Most of those sold... but this one  is still available... if you'd like to see more of her photography you can on flickr under oliverkriston


hoping to make a event for the art-a-whirl festivities... and I will be blasting a bunch of information on you about my other project MPLS CREATES here in the coming days... launching in 3.... 2... 1... stay tuned!
