"Spotlight," 6" x 8", portrait of a young dancer, done in acrylics on museum quality panel, collection of the model.
This is Elizabeth's daughter - you remember Elizabeth? the one who drug me all over central Florida last week? - Well, her daughter Emilie is an accomplished and exquisite dancer. She turned out to be quite the muse as well.
While I was staying with them last week, Emilie, a freshman in high school, successfully auditioned for an apprenticeship in a professional dance troupe. She also invited me to her dance studio, where I met a few of her teammates and got to watch them perform.
Breathtaking.
Sadly, I left my camera back home. So the lovely photo inspiring this painting was provided courtesy of Douglas Nelson Photography. I say this all the time, but please make sure you have the photographer's explicit permission to create derivative art from their work. Thanks for granting me permission, Doug!
And thank YOU for following along with my artwork!

"Tabby Kit," 5" x 7", acrylics on a museum quality panel, depicting a tiny little orange striped guy from Morgue File . This painting can be yours for $289, which includes s&h inside the US. And in case you didn't see it, a little doodle of him is also available for sale here . Inquires may come directly to me . Although it certainly doesn't FEEL like spring here (snow and ice and wind chills, brr!), I can tell that spring is coming. The mercury is rising a wee bit each day and the days are getting longer and brighter. Over the weekend we drove with the moonroof open just to feel the sun's meager and oh-so-very-welcome warmth (although the heat in the car was cranked, too, in the interest of full disclosure!). I wanted to work with spring-like colors today, and this little guy was still on my mind , so I grabbed a small panel and got to work. Of course, I also have Poppy to finish and some changes to make to another po
Un très joli portrait tout en délicatesse...
