Lovely work.

I like the colors used here.

clear and full of details. Bright and lovely expression.
Proportions are great.
Delicate in nature.
I understand the use of the red along with the satin ties around her ankles.

You are the artist and I respect your work. I always want to understand your point of view.

However in this particular image, the red is just a little over powering underneath her... maybe if it was dispersed a little more..it would soften it some.

Just a suggestion .....I do appreciate all of your work.

Have a wonderful day!!

I absolutely love the feathery strokes here James. Both in the dress and echoed in the lovely background. Gorgeous colours too. Really very enjoyable to review.

Lovely ballerina - almost feel like she could fly when she dances with the costume. Beautiful face, and wonderful pose. Always a pleasure to view. Love your style and technique!

An realistic captured dancer in surreal surroundings. A sweet black swan with beautiful black feathers on a red cloud in a blue sky. The red cloud also seems almost like a reflection in unusual red. A cheerful dream perhaps.

Great color, once again almost abstract. I really like how the feather brush strokes of the background blend with the strokes of her tutu.

I like her face, she very elegant looking. Nice smile and facial features. I like how the feathers appear to be blowing about in this still picture. Nice contours, lighting and shadows of her body. I love the background with the swirls of blue and white accentuating the beauty of the ballerina. Excellent piece.

everything dances in this image, you have, for me, captured movement and stillness and it pirouettes around her smile. it is a beautiful piece of work jesuel. thank you for sharing.
