STING/SLICK (Two of My Favourites)

STING/SLICK 

by Grace Slick

“Before Sting puts his organized ruminations to use, the quiet time spent embracing the difficulties of humanity require discipline – physical, artistic, emotional, and personal – in order to lead the beautiful life he offers us. A fully concerned man, he seems to embody contemplating mastery.” 
Grace Slick

Also known as 
"The Acid Queen",
  "The Chrome Nun"

STING/SLICK by Grace Slick

I wish I had a spare $1600 to hang on this pic on my wall, but alas, at the moment I don't.
I've seen Sting play live twice in Brisbane and I would have to say that he is up there with the greats.
If you get the chance to see/hear him live, take it.
I don't think you'll be sorry.

Do I really need to point Grace out?-)

This painting by Grace Slick (Lead singer of Jefferson Airplane) captures two of my favourite things, that shade of blue and the great singer songwriter Sting.

I just love Grace's art and her music.
If you've never heard her music (where have you been hiding?)  
then follow the white rabbit to a YouTube of her singing
White Rabbit/Someone to Love

If you want to see, or purchase her art, here's the link that will take you there -

And writing about portraits and great artists, here's another of my favourite doubles in that area.
Starr with her painting of probably my all time favourite singer/songwriter John Lennon ... sorry Sting and Bruce (Springsteen is a very close second though, for me anyway).

Here's a You Tube to an interview with Grace talking about her career and painting

and here's a link to one of my all-time Sting favourites  
Fields of Gold 

Maybe not the best sound quality, but I like the visuals for this clip ... sorry.

Fields of gold, or fields of dreams?
