Lovely painting of the ballerina as she is preparing shoe for the dance. The colors on her dress shows the texture so beautifully, the background just perfect!

Absolutely my pleasure

Ah! This is simply gorgeous in scene and painting. It is just stunning work with the golden background and the golden lights upon the lovely tanned ballerina. Congratulations on your second-place win with this fine painting and on your being Number 3 or so in the Traditional Artists' List.

HI James, This is a very sweet image of a young ballerina getting ready for her performance. Love the color of her tutu. Your detail is always beautifully done. The ballerinas always have an elegant and delicate look. Always worthy of six stars in my eyes! :o) Nancy

Prepping for the event. James, you did a wonderful job, creating this ballerina in your style. You demonstrate their bane before the actual performance and all they go through. Love the color, the figure and how you place her. Thank you for sharing. Ray

I simply love your ballerina images. The colors and framing of the subject is soft and inviting. The blue helps bring in depth to the image. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Jack Moore
I always like to see your work and this is a great piece from a talented artist. I like the colors which I think makes this piece stand out really well and I also like how she is centered in the frame. I guess she is getting ready to preform or is she done for the day, anyway I think that it is still a great piece. Keep up the great work, thanks for sharing and have a great weekend. JackJr.

This painting captures the essence of ballet dance, a mesmerising tapestry of blues and oranges.It is always nice to see alternate approaches. Well done!

A good looking image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition suggests to me that she is, for some reason adjusting the hem of her dress? Textures and tones are good. Nicely painted!
