We're here for a good time -- quick study with my art group

Here's a sketch I did with my art group this week.
The model had so much soul.  Who knows why
that happens, but she was perfect for me -- with
only an hour to paint her.  Some models just
give off so much energy, and this model was like
that.  Quiet, and peaceful -- she seemed complete.
So my sketch flew.  On the break I so enjoyed
talking to my artist friends.  They can be very
funny and informative.  I learned that each cell
in the human body has six feet of DNA!  Think
of that. It seems impossible doesn't it?  And mysterious,
and wondrous.

So here she is.  I didn't learn her name, but wish
I did. And click here to listen to the song that
inspired the title.

Have a capturing-the-feeling day.
