Balance

Here is another one from my ballet series. I had big plans for this weekend. Wanted to finish couple of my larger paintings and maybe do couple of the little ones, but I came down with a cold and this one was the only one that I could manage. This one was done on a gessoed masonite board that I first covered with a layer of copper acrylic. I have been using the copper background in a few of my paintings and love the look and the ease of painting on it. Very easy on the eyes!

Artist or Athlete

I know a very few people who would label dancers as athletes, but professional ballerinas get hurt just as often and suffer just as serious injuries as athletes in contact sports. They dance though their pain and all we see is the beauty of the performance - They are truly incredible!!!

This is an old pair of my toe shoes that I never got to fully break in before I stopped dancing. Now they get to serve another purpose...
