The story behind my "Floor Dancer" series,

In 2009 while living in Chico California, I woke up one morning, slowly allowing myself to become aware of the day. While sitting on the couch and staring at the floor, I started to see images in the pattern of the linoleum tiles. I laughed and grabbed a piece of paper and pencil to sketch what I saw. I made 6 paintings from these sketches. I had so much fun with it, laughing at each completed piece. I lived in that house for three years and had never paid much attention to the floor, other then to sweep and wash it. But from then on, every time I look at it I saw images! This was truly a magical moment for me. This is number 2 in the series and the first with the new style shoes.
