The foreground lady looks masculine.
The background girl looks lovely even with a twisted arm or elbow.
Subtle harmonious colors.
Excellent lighting.
Nice framing.
Thanks for sharing.

Classic Jesuel. I would love to see the performers faces when you show them your paintings. It is my thought that you have an insiders knowledge of the dance.A quality of a pro dancer can convey. I know you are a master painter. A 6

Another beautifully composed, delectably rendered oil painting of young ladies. Great use of soft colours and light. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from nature rules


Beautiful, serene, subtle and femininely sweet. Your body form and scale are A+, as if your coloration to accent their gowns. The face and hair have just enough detail to add expression and style. I like the shading you used to keep the background washed out for the most part, not only of sharp texture but of color. Very nice.

Nice initial impact. I like the muted colors as it gives the ballerinas a gracefulness and a delicate air. Good composition. Very miss job:)

Great lighting in this piece. The highlights make for an extraordinary piece. I especially like the feel or glow of the steps, of which those slippers carry our eyes to. Very nice Composition and skillfully carried out. Kathy
