Both of our kids take tap, jazz and daughter takes ballet. This year, the studio performed
Coppelia. I had a back stage pass... and of course, my camera was at the ready for any pose or movement that struck a chord. Pure nirvana for these eyes! (sidebar... I began ballet at 4 years old and kept on dancing)
Here is the first of probably many 'dance paintings'. Even the most casual standing around and waiting at
rehearsal is a divine pose in my eyes. This one is acrylic on canvas... about 28 x 24".
On another note... I'm so saddened by the death of the gifted, troubled soul - Amy
Winehouse. Rest in peace, girl. Also, the
incomparable painter - Lucian Freud passed away Friday. Another huge loss... although comfort can be found in the fact he lived a long, prolific life. No one painted like him. RIP Lucian and thank you for the gifts you left behind.
Picture day for the upcoming May dance recital was Saturday. I took about a gazillion backstage/preparation photos. The one, lone boy in the class was a bumble bee... but he would not line up with girls so it was tough to get a photo, darn!
