An evening of Ballerinas

I have been ridiculously busy since the Fall. We placed 28 piers under the house and releveled the foundation. With all of that jackhammering, cutting down beautiful hibiscus bushes and relandscaping, there has been little "peace" for painting. An irritated tendon led to "trigger thumb" and I rested the hand for a month. Needless to say, painting has been few and far between.

I recently took a 3-session class where we had a group of ballerinas pose for painting "in motion". This was the first piece I did after an evening of charcoal and pastel sketches.
