Description
"Dance of the Swan"8.5 x 11 (27.9 cm x21.6cm) Color pencils, pastels, 2013
Part of my ballerina/swan lake story series
inspired by Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.
I had this idea to draw this for the last 2 years
ever since we had the EV theme "Ruby Slipper" and kept putting it off
but lately have been having strange dreams about feathers, white, black
all kinds of feathers small, big, dont know the meaning of it..
and thought maybe something was trying to tell me to do this,
timing was perfect too
reminded me of something i have to finish somethingi promised to do last year
Artwise really gave me a hard time all the folds and highlights really hard
and time consuming , i was glad i finished it
.Many thanks to my beautiful friend miranda rose
for the beautiful ballet stock reference (felt bad couldn't draw all of her ) but this is how
i visioned this drawing
Thank you so much for viewing, commenting on my art
always feel free to share my art thank YOU

You're welcome!Β I really love the work. It's always challenging to show emotions not through the eyes of the character or her expression, but through the pose and motion, and you did it really great! Also I like the dynamics of the work.

hugs thank you so much for your supportive comments xoxo
i thought people will either get it, like it,or hate it..lol..

But I think if you make such "love it or hate it" work, it's actually a great thing. It means it has artistic message, it speaks to a viewer, tells a story. I love works with a story. And your work definitely has one!
