Have I told you about the painting yet?

One of the things I love about the new space for JSP is the great light.  The last studio got a little cave-ish and dark.  So I wanted to bring in a painting that would help create a little welcome area.  My client, Jolie Guillebeau, said she had something that would work, color-wise and size-wise. 

"What's the title?"  I asked.

"String of pearls."

I knew right then and there I had to have the painting.  Lay your spine down like a string of pearls is one of the most popular Pilates cues for spinal articulation.  I wish my spine looked this pretty.

And do you know the best part of this story?  Jolie didn't know the cue.  She was newer to Pilates and we hadn't talked about it yet. 

So there you have it.  I hope to give this painting a good home.  Stop by and see it sometime and lay your spine down, pearl by pearl.
