Stunning J~Man!
I am all out of extra stars but this is worthy of more than far allows anyway.
I LOVE the dance pose of the two. So emotive and elegant drawing us into their dance.
Fie details, textures and low key style of lighting.
Fine painting!

You have brilliantly produced a painting of elegance showcasing the world of dance. The dancing partners are exquisite with their shared dynamic flair exacting beauty and skilled eloquence in ballet performance. Your painting is a perfect art cover for a book or magazine about Ballet/Dance

What a classy and dignified couple.

I like the abstractness of it. The dress is flowing giving lots of action to the scene.
The man is in the shadows but plays an important role in this duet.

The hand around the waste and the symmetry of the two outstretched arms is great and adds viewer interest.

Very nice use of shadows and light.

Very well done!

James, you have really touched on the interaction between a man and a woman. The softness of the woman, against the strength of the man. The dark background adds to the drama. I love the flow, the form, and the intent of your work.

Very nice painting here. Love the textures you have put into this. Light and shadow done, as usual, perfectly. Movement is smooth, makes me imagine them dancing through the night. Expressions on their faces wonderful. thanks for sharing.

Very well done. I like the way it exudes the elegance of the dance. The more shadowed man exemplifies his role as the more supporting partner in the duo. Body and arm positions are perfect and beautiful. The title says it all. Great job!
