While attending Art Chicago, or "Artropolis" last week I discovered this artist and her blurry, ethereal and captivating paintings.  I want one!  (or two or three..)  I just love her work!

eerily beautiful...

this one reminds me of my sister and I..

and this reminds me of the "four sisters"  (mom, linda, sally and nancy)
