Dance


As a dance mom there is always something balletic going on,
even in the summer..

This detail from a sketch turned painting of my daughter's solo
is by my sister-in-law so I just had to post it!

I love how she's caught the shimmer of the fabric!

My daughter is super excited she is now on pointe,
so auntie's next painting can include pointe shoes!

Happy Sunday! and please check out the other's at BlueChairDiary

    Wow, what a gorgeous painting. There's a Degas dancers exhibition coming up soon at the Royal Academy in London. I'm planning a trip!

    Fabulous action! Love the focus and glimmer to the skirt. The feet are so delicate and graceful. The painting wonderfully captures a special moment in time.

    Great light and shadow--the sumptuous deep hues imbues your painting with rich energy. The lace is gorgeous. Your a ballet dancer? What another beautiful art form! :)
