The Last of the Ballerinas

This is my last painting of Catherine and her friends as they were excitedly practicing for the big show. I liked just putting in gestures quickly. The oil Bars are fun to work this way. If I can only remember to leave it alone and not show every little detail! Thank you again for stopping by and leaving comments, I really enjoy hearing from everyone. This painting was done from sketches and photos. I used to take my granddaughter to her class every week. Think I will go back and do some more sketches. Only now you have to run it by someone and let them know you are an artist!

  2. Hi Sylviane, Thank you so much. The painting is 8x 10. I do the sketches on location, take photos and then go home and work in the studio. Hope to hear from you again. Happy Holidays!
