"Pink Ballet Shoes" by Lynda Cookson

"Fancy Dance" by Karla Nolan, watercolor and ink

Okay, I'll be up front.  I do not plan to sell this painting.  It was extremely time consuming to paint, full of detail, which is not my usual modus operandus.  I went to the Northern Colorado Pow Wow a couple of weeks ago with my husband and then with my young granddaughter.  I love a pow wow.  The color, the spirit, the dancing, the drumming, nothing is quite like it.  So I attempted to capture a second of the fancy dance, I was diligent in my effort, and I am so happy with it!  Yaay!

Love, now a universal birth,

From heart to heart is stealing, 

From earth to man, from man to earth,

- It is the hour of feeling.

There is a blessing in the air,

Which seems a sense of joy to yield,

To the bare trees , and mountains bare,

And grass in the green field.

More from my minds eye in my Etsy shop!

Alright, so I'd posted a couple of steamy hot tango dancers legs - how about a sweet one that you might reminisce your first dance on your father's feet?  I know I did it long ago, and I'm sure a lot of little girls did...

Tango Dancers by Judy Mackey

"El Bailar"

9" x  12", Oil on Canvas
Available for purchase.

I wanted to try painting Tango dancers for a while.  But I painted this from the "leg"/"feet" aspect.  I like to sometimes guess what the art is about, I don't want to know the whole story, I want to fill in the blanks.

 

I heard a while back when the high definition T.V.'s were coming out that watcing HD actually made the brain get bored.  Because of all the fine details the eye sees, the brain doesn't need to "fill in the blanks" and so while seeing all the details might be exciting, the brain sometimes doesn't want to follow along in the story.  Because I'm of an age that remember B&W movies and T.V shows, I wonder then if that is why I like the old movies?

 

While we watch Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers dance in a classic movie, we don't know if she's wearing red, or blue...but it captures our attention and we watch their ever footsteps

 

I must apologize with this photo of my painting, however.  The problem with this photo is that the painting is dark and I wasn't able to take a good photo without the glare.    The areas that look like white is very subtle in the original painting.  I'll have to re-take this photo.
