Spoon Bender and the Virgin Queen

HERstory, Portraits

43 x 31, Oil Paint and Oil Pastel on Canvas, 2019. $800.00

Here are two lovely and extremely talented young women, both making their way in the world; both hard core, mule-headed, and insufferably – ‘My way or the Highway,’  kinda women. When they were girls and the very bestest of friends, they would play and sing together, for fun on a weekend night. My “Mother’s Day 2013” song, they recorded for me long ago, perfectly illustrates these two wildums’ fun and fierceness of spirit …  I did the best I could to capture their essence. I loves them both and wish them them incredible joy and success in this world! Sing on ladies, both of yous! Sonja

This painting sat unfinished for 15 years in my garage, too good to throw out, but not good enough to display…. This painting is from a photograph I took of my beautiful friend in Paris when we were in art school, she was a truly remarkable spirit!
