When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way.

In the Moment by Pamela Blaies

Dauntless Allure

oil on linen

6" x 6"

This painting was inspired by a hostess on the Riverwalk in San Antonio. We were having lunch at the restaurant she worked. Her expression and the way the light was hitting her just took my breath away. I snapped a few photos. I went and asked her if she minded that I took her photo for future artwork. She seemed flattered and happily consented, but her expression changed from self assured confidence to bashful awkwardness. Thank goodness I got the photos I wanted before she was aware of being photographed. It is exciting to capture a moment!

Love, now a universal birth,

From heart to heart is stealing, 

From earth to man, from man to earth,

- It is the hour of feeling.

There is a blessing in the air,

Which seems a sense of joy to yield,

To the bare trees , and mountains bare,

And grass in the green field.

"Dance like nobody's watching"

Painting for me is quite a passion and I enjoy to paint from inspirational music, experiences, and travels. Every so often people inspire me too!

I was listening to some of my favorite classical and before I could stop myself she started to dance on the canvas.

Hope you enjoy!
