This painting feels like Summer to me.  Summer dances. 

 

The song "Dance with Me" playing:

 

"Dance with me, I want to be your partner

Can you hear, the music is just starting,

Night is calling and I am falling,

--Dance with me"

 

But there is a sadness in the face, even though I don't tend to paint in faces.  Maybe a little girl in me that remembers school dances I sat on the sides waiting to be asked....

First Dance Palette Knife Painting

"First Dance"

9" x  12" x 1.5", Oil on Canvas

Alright, so I'd posted a couple of steamy hot tango dancers legs - how about a sweet one that you might reminisce your first dance on your father's feet?  I know I did it long ago, and I'm sure a lot of little girls did...

Tango Dancers - El Bailar

"El Bailar"

9" x  12", Oil on Canvas
Available for purchase.

I wanted to try painting Tango dancers for a while.  But I painted this from the "leg"/"feet" aspect.  I like to sometimes guess what the art is about, I don't want to know the whole story, I want to fill in the blanks.

 

I heard a while back when the high definition T.V.'s were coming out that watcing HD actually made the brain get bored.  Because of all the fine details the eye sees, the brain doesn't need to "fill in the blanks" and so while seeing all the details might be exciting, the brain sometimes doesn't want to follow along in the story.  Because I'm of an age that remember B&W movies and T.V shows, I wonder then if that is why I like the old movies?

 

While we watch Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers dance in a classic movie, we don't know if she's wearing red, or blue...but it captures our attention and we watch their ever footsteps

 

I must apologize with this photo of my painting, however.  The problem with this photo is that the painting is dark and I wasn't able to take a good photo without the glare.    The areas that look like white is very subtle in the original painting.  I'll have to re-take this photo.

Quiet Dance - A Painting of More Irises

I liked painting the smaller paintings of Irises so much that I had to do a larger version of it again with the palette knife. The irises seemed to be dancing in a gentle twilight breeze. I also found the title of this painting from a title of a song I heard on Hiroshi Yamaoka's Soundclick page.
