Such a brilliantly charming work of ballet dancer theme art that you have created. This 'snow-white' attired little ballerina sits on a throne-like chair getting a much-needed cup of tea respite to quench her thirst in between audience applauded but tiresome ballet dance performances.
Glad to view yet another one of your artistic gems set in the world of Ballet.

Congratulations on your second-place win, artist friend. I know you don't enter a lot of contests; your work just wins, but I hope you will in the future.

This is so amazing!! I love this little ballerina as she sits shyly in the chair for her turn to dance. Your composition, shades and tones are perfect!! Wish I could give you a six star rating!!

This is a well made painting in your ususal signature style. It shows the child engrossed in the watching something on mobile. But it is covering her face. But I appreciate your take on the contest theme. Good luck!

Oh this little ballerina is delightful, seated on that pretty chair and drinking her tea. Really wonderful texture and detail here and the limited colour palette really works so well,

Comment from Ray Gordon


James this is a great painting but it is very dark photo. I can't figure why. Probably the lighting, unless this is your intention. I like the way her legs hang off the red covered chair. Ray

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that thirsty dancer. Textures, colours and tones are good. Well painted!
