"Pink Ballet Shoes" by Lynda Cookson

Music and dance have always been important stimulants for me. In fact, my first own-business was a ballroom dance studio! I have never had a ballet lesson but had contact with ballet teachers, as well as Spanish dance teachers, which gave me a taste of the depth and love in their lives. To me, ballet shoes are things of real beauty ... from the perfection of their own creation, to the support, love and life they give to their dancers - all finally depicted in their wrinkles, stains and frays.

"Pink Ballet Shoes" is still for sale and you just need to contact me.

In the Moment by Pamela Blaies

Dauntless Allure

oil on linen

6" x 6"

This painting was inspired by a hostess on the Riverwalk in San Antonio. We were having lunch at the restaurant she worked. Her expression and the way the light was hitting her just took my breath away. I snapped a few photos. I went and asked her if she minded that I took her photo for future artwork. She seemed flattered and happily consented, but her expression changed from self assured confidence to bashful awkwardness. Thank goodness I got the photos I wanted before she was aware of being photographed. It is exciting to capture a moment!

I painted this in Sedona at Tlaquepaque with the Spanish style architectural arches, vines and plants in the pots. the light casting a shadow on the building was one of the main interests for me with the bright red geraniums.
