subtle color explosion

all images from donna schoenherr
Here is an early Saturday morning dose of color. These are images of paintings that my dearest friend on earth has newly completed.Her name is Donna, she was also a dancer, had an international career, and now she teaches dance in London. She has all the chores and responsibilities that all full time moms have, plus her own business, and when she has an hour or two to herself she gets out her oil paints and gives the rest of us glimpses of her inner world. She always makes me think of Louise Bourgeois in that for years Ms. Bourgeois priorities were her family but when she was older and her time came she devoted herself completely to her art, lucky for us, right? So this is to Donna and all Moms who will some day fully explore their creative potential!
