Another lovely, subtle painting in which you have created such elegance. Great tonal value and the lighter dress in the background gives the painting recession. A nice touch is the pair of ballet shoes on the steps.

Very beautiful James and this image has tremendous story telling potential :)

One can just envision the teacher and the practice session.

Wonderful depth and details!

Truly a wonderful scene of the preparation of the ballerinas. I can just imagine how wonderful this is to see it close up! The lighting is beautiful, and the little touches of detail throughout are so perfect. The shoe on the stairs and the mirror on the wall. Excellent and impressive. I always love your work! Bravo! Standing ovation on this one!

I really like this one. The casual grace is really shown here in their apparent indifference to your prescence. Really nice. I like the soft touch of color too. Makes more of an impact that bright colors would.

Great work with excellent details of the two ballerinas and in their dresses. Nice to paint them in two different colours, and nice touch of the ballet slippers on the steps.

a really lovely and soulful work. unusual you have chosen two figures but you have chosen such a choice position and pose. this takes you to another, more mysterious world.

Very pretty painting.
I like the soft pink against the soft blue. Good composition. Good storytelling possibilities. Nice use of light and dark.

Superb painting James. Love the dark tones against the light on the walls really captures the mood of the piece and brings all the focus on the dancers and what they must be feelng as they wait. Really good stuff. Dave :-)
