Portrait progress

16x20, graphite

I never like the way I'm able to photograph pencil, but this is progress on a portrait I've been working on..

Sneakers 2

Keeping with the shoe theme, more sneakers this time...

In Yellow

12x22, watercolor

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!

Ballet Shoes 2

Ballet Shoes

Watercolor ballet shoes for Ava...

Sisters

20x32 watercolor

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

10x12ish, watercolor

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

Kitchen Still Life

5x7 watercolor

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...
