Pointe Shoes 3

12x16ish, watercolor

Again inspired by Jim Kelly's photo....this is what it looked like before I tore it trying to get it out of the Arches pad...it stinks when you spend all that money on paper and it is glued so tightly that you can't get it out!!!

In Yellow

Trying to use up all the OTHER colors on my pallette for a little creative experiment...I still have some greens and browns left...I don't know if that will work or not!

Sneakers

6x18ish watercolor

Moving on from ballet sisters to some footwear that I'm personally obsessed with...running sneakers! What would we runners do without the perfect pair (or more) to get us out onto the road. I guess I'm collecting quite a few pairs at this point!

Ballet Shoes 3

9x12, watercolor

I'm in Nutcraker mode I guess! More rehearsals for the girls this weekend!

Sisters

Not the most successful portraits I've done, but still there's something about them...I think I'll continue with some larger scale figures and see what happens...

Jim Kelly Inspired Pointe Shoes

Inspired by a Jim Kelly photograph and popular poster...and all of the Dance Theater Nutcracker girls!

Kitchen Still Life

Kitchen Still Life...inspired by the dishes Ruth left when she gave snacks to the girls last weekend and I piled my old yogurt container/water cups with them...
