My Ballerinas and Me
A few of my girls and myself in the studio. The ballerina behind me is on my monitor - I guess that is why she looks so red. I am using her as my background for continued inspiration!
Susan- You got me with your incredibly beautiful horses but these ballerinas are such a breath of fresh air. Fun, creative and just love them. The colors and brushwork make them sophisticated works of art to be cherished. I hope to own a Susan one day!!
Hi, Maike - I show my steeplechase paintings in the Chisholm Gallery but am going to hold on to the ballerinas for a while. I need to see where they take me. Thanks, Judy, I wanted to show some perspective regardig the size of the paintings. Kathy, I cherish reading your thoughts! There is a strong emotional component to these ballerina paintings - thank you for your kind insights. Hi, Susan, they make me feel like dancing!
so nice Susan, do you plan to show them in a gallery?
