  1. Hello there Susan!... Love this... "pas de trois" trio of dance cherubs - they have a unique and personal essence... each one different from the other!

    Despite their larger-than-life... and out of ballerina form... they truly are enchantingly colourful to look at!

    Bravo!

    Good Painting!
    warmest regards,
    Bruce

    1. Thank you, Bruce. Painting the human form in motion appeals to me in the same way as painting horses in motion.

    1. And such fun to paint as I try and try to capture the human form in motion. Thank you, Sandra.

  5. Some great sense of humor. The play is on how ballerinas starve themselves for the sake of the dance. And have you ever seen their feet Joey? UGLY! Susan's ballerinas are a happy lot flying through the air. Brilliant.

    1. I once did a painting of a ballerina in the process of putting on her shoes showing a bare foot. They take a lot of abuse. I truly appreciate your support, Linda and hope you are well on the way to complete recovery.
