Life is a Dance
10 x 10
Oil on Raymar Panel
I come from an extremely talented family. I am constantly amazed by the things I find out. Recently while perusing Facebook I saw a photo of a cousin dancing with such joy...great movement...fabulous colors...it just inspired me!
Today when I entered my studio I painting some pieces that needed to be finished up and then decided I wanted to do something fun...something just because I want to paint it...something with movement, joy, bright colors...something that would make me happy. I remembered this picture. It was so fun to paint...I tried not to worry too much about the details and just painted light and shadows trying to obliterate most of the edges and give a feeling of movement.
Needless to say...it was a great day in the studio! Smiles for everyone!
Beautiful movement and love her expression on her face...wonderful work, Maria.
ReplyDeleteALWAYS a great day in the studio!!!! And you did a great job with that MOVEMENT - so hard to do! Even my husband, who was standing in the other room and peeked in as I was looking at your painting said "Great job with that flowing scarf!"
ReplyDeleteI love the movement which is enhanced by the drama of these clean, beautiful, harmonious colors. Great job, Maria!
ReplyDeleteI love this painting. It is very loose and expressive. Also what the other people said about the movement of the person.
