It's funny, though I shouldn't be at all surprised, but I had planned to paint a large series of paintings inspired by the Mississippi Delta Blues, music that moves me beyond words. And, is my go-to music now matter what I am painting.
But, don't you know... my Muse had other ideas. Every time I meditated or ran, the paintings that kept asking or rather demanding, to be painted were dress forms.
I am not sure I can get them all done by the Studio Tour, June 2nd, but am surely being guided (pushed) by a source larger than me. I have learned not to fight inspiration... and to let it take me where I belong...

So, my studio has it's fair share of dress forms waiting to be unveiled. And they make me very happy.
I am just glad they are on canvas and paper, and not actual forms on stands - otherwise there would be no room in here for me!!
