When I dance,
I cannot judge,
I cannot hate,
I cannot separate myself from life.
I can only be joyful and whole,
that is why I dance.
- Hans Bos.

So dance, for it is the truest, freest expression.

(Painter IX)

Do kindly view. :love: You can see in the close-up images that I did not intend to make this painting "super-smooth" and too "realistic". I hope you like this approach. :D

[I apologize for the numerous watermarks in the close-up image. Art thieves are everywhere.]

The colours, sense of movement, and strongly defined musculature of this piece are just fab. :heart:

Came to this page via your web-site via your blog via Schoolism. You are a very talented young lady. Keep up the great work!

Did you draw this from reference pic or from imagination? I like the colours and her pose. A little nit-pick, hope you won't mind, I find her left leg (on the ground) shorter than her right (in the air). Also, the foot on the ground seems a little too detailed, making it look as though the leg is slanted towards us which would cause her to lose her balance. :P

Hey, thanks for dropping by! I hope you're having a lot of fun at Schoolism. :D

I drew this from a reference a few years ago and I can see lots of flaws with this one today. >< Thanks for your honest review!

I sang for the Snow Chorus in the Nutcracker and I was pretty much hypnotized by the dancers in the Nutcracker- this image reminds me of that feeling of the magical feeling dancing gives me.
