What immediately catches my eye and the eyes of others is the red chair cushions contrasting against the pristine white elements in this piece. The eyes of the little girl peeking over the glass seem to bore into the viewer and captivate them. I love the intricate details such as the matching hair barrette that stands out against the auburn shade of the girl's hair thus enhancing it further. Excellent use of light and dark elements are evident to highlights specific aspects in this photo beautifully. The clarity of the expression in this girl's eyes is stunning and the tendrils of hair that haphazardly come loose from her hairdo all amount to a detailed piece of art. One small suggestion is to make the right chair leg and her right shoe a little clearer to coincide with the intensity of her gaze. Overall this piece creates a great initial impact for the viewer and the texture created from using oil on wood adds dimension. Well done!

Always a pleasure to review your work. Little dancer so realistic. Nice pose for the title and she is well positioned in the frame. Colors and contrasts so the subject well. Very well done.

Lovely oil painting of the little ballerina having a break. I love the pose you painted here and the limited palette you used.

Great detail as always with your lovely paintings. Very nice composition. Suzanne

I like that she is so little her feet do not touch the floor as she sits and drinks in that fab red velvet chair.
Nice textures, shading and highlight J-Man!
