Description This took me awhile to finish because I kept getting really frustrated once again with my crappy cheap watercolor paper. >:[ So don't be to harsh-I couldnt do much more than I did with it cuz it was really fuzzing up. Not happy about some other stuff ;(
Another pose that was inspired by an odd thing, I was watching my husband coach his volleyball team and one of the girls everytime she served the ball made this exact pose-kind of like a dance. It was awesome So thank you Natalie for the inspiration-if you ever see this! lol I'll be giving her a print.

I can see that volley-ball serving pose in it now that you say it, but I didn't before. It's a very natural position, but dramatic. What a neat connection.

I won't critique harshly because of what you said in your artist-comment section, but I felt the greatest weakness in the piece were the length and width of the arms. I like the movement of the piece, and the pose very much.

Thank you. This is a rather old piece of mine - as is most my gallery, sadly (I've been lazy )- but this is one of those I think I'd like to come back to one day and do over.

I loved this from the moment I first saw it in my message box - but I was too busy to comment on it.
Apart from the pose and the colors, which are really great, I love the pattern on her body the most. It reminds me of ancient rituals and firebreathing...

Wee wowza, Karrin. This is spectacular. I don't see where the "fuzzies" are at all. I love how you have done this.
The colors are superb, the lady is fantastically posed, and the whole thing is so wonderful.

hehe..volleyball. I remember those days...
