This is my personal trainer.
About 10 years ago I decided to change my life...eat a healthy diet and work out. A year ago I hired Heather Tefler to help me strengthen my core and work on balance. Heather is amazing. With her help I am able to do things I have not been able to do for years. I am much stronger and my balance has improved remarkably. Heather uses a combination of Pilates and Yoga for my program. While doing her yoga moves I was inspired and asked her if I could take pictures as she went through her routine. I marveled at the graceful way she transitioned from one pose to the next. She graciously allowed me permission to paint a series depicting her routine. This is the first study...she is stretching so far she even reached off the canvas!
I love this Maria!! It reminds me of myself (only she looks far better than I do). I did the same thing about 15 yrs ago. I hired a personal trainer for a few months...well worth the money! I now walk the dog every day (fast) and do a combination of yoga and pilates. What a brilliant idea for a painting:))
ReplyDeletei agree, this is a brilliant idea! Love her stretch... I can almost feel it. Wonderful painting, and I'm so proud of you for being so disciplined. I'm inspired to get off my butt. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteA great idea, Maria!! Your first painting in this series is fantastic! I love yoga and I feel her stretch. Really good!!
ReplyDeleteSo....so.... nice
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, even your subjects are inspiring! I think I'll put new batteries in my Wii and get started!! I wish I had started 10 years ago but now is good too. I'll look forward to the next painting Doing a series is a great idea.
