Hey there Jesuel!
This is really a beautifully rendered painting. I really like the way you captured the light as it draws the viewers emotion right into the scene. The blending of the paints and the pose of the two people are both well done. Overall a deserving winner, congrats!

I wish one-tenth of the art submissions to FanArt Review were as fine as this outstanding oil painting. The motion is so realistic I feel like I am in the audience watching these dancers. The muted colors are very effective. What a marvelous example of your talent and skill! Congratulations on your recent award.

Very cool. What did you mean when you said, "found this in a garage?" It was an existing piece of work that you took a picture of? I'm a little slow at times.

Great painting of these two performing a passionate dance as the girl is lifted up to the sunlight.
Excellent details, shading and I can almost hear the music as these two dance.
Beautiful composition of this oil artwork.

Fine acrobatics drawing in oils on wood panel with the ballerina and the cavalier 45. The faces and heads are super-well done; the background in the blues and softness yet energetic is nice; and the gown, everything well drawn indeed.
