I thought I would post some of the art I have on display at the
Daylesford Abbey Art Show for those of you who either can't make the show, or who want to see what I am displaying before you make up your mind.
I decided to start by sharing the three drawings from my tap dance series which are in the show.
"Dancing Feet"

This is the first time I am showing "Dancing Feet" on the blog. The drawing was created from one of my reference photos of the lovely and very talented
Germaine Salsberg. I did this drawing as a preliminary piece to a much larger watercolor (which I promise to share here soon).
"Icebreaker"

My "models" for the other two drawings are both
Tap Ties company
members - Melody Kline (above) and Amy Smith (below). The Tap Ties ladies have been wonderfully supportive of this series of drawings and paintings and have allowed me to photograph a number of their rehearsals, for which I am forever grateful.

How interesting to focus on (dancing) feet...your drawings contain movement and by looking at them I can almost hear the music that make the feet dance.
Paula, thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I love the thought that I am conveying the movement well enough that you can almost hear the sounds! Your wonderful compliment has left a big smile on my face. Thank you!
These are beautiful drawings. I love your limited palette and your quivering edges--there is so much movement in the pieces! "Keep on Your Toes" is a particularly beautiful drawing.
Thank you so much Daniel! I am glad you enjoyed them!
