Ballerina

Hi there, this ballerina was fun to paint, painted in acrylics on a 11" x 14" stretched canvas.  I started out with my very wet background and placed the skirt into that.  Once that was dry I painted in her torso and head. I think it is finished but I will look at it for a while.  I even added some metallic paint in the wet background. 

My show this weekend was great. It was not well attended but I met some wonderful people and had nice sales,  thank you to those that attended.


This Friday night I have an opening in Evendale Ohio, the opening is always well attended.

Thank you for visiting!

Bonjour chère amie,

Toutes mes félicitations pour cette dernière exposition. Faire de belles rencontres avec également des ventes c'est formidable...
De toutes façons, rien n'est complètement négatif. Parfois les retombées d'une exposition sont étonnantes.
Je vous souhaite le meilleur encore pour cette future exposition qui s'annonce.

En ce qui concerne cette charmante ballerine, j'aime beaucoup son attitude, de dos. Elle a la grâce d'un cygne. Je trouve extraordinaires les nuances de couleurs qui flirtent pour créer la blancheur de son costume de scène. Elle a également un très beau port de tête.
Le fond merveilleusement bien travaillé crée un contraste captivant.
Une très jolie peinture.

Je vous fais de gros bisous ♡
