Profile Of A Dancer

Well, I'm on a roll. Just chose three new photographs to paint from Flickr today. This painting is based on a photo by Alaskan Dude. This woman was part of a Middle Eastern Dance group last summer in Anchorage, Alaska. It's a lot of fun getting good photographs from around the world. It's exciting to get a view into other cultures. In the next two photographs I will paint I have one of an African American boy dancing on the street in Newark, New Jersey and another of two Balinese boys dressed in traditional costumes, also dancing. That's my theme right now--dancers. And in terms of portraits of people, it's a good theme. I also wrote a blog entry on my Artid site about painting if you want to read it. Someone sent me a brief email from Artid saying they really liked my artwork which boosted me up. I want to get more involved with Artid now that I've returned to a regular practice. I'm just going to keep working and posting images of my paintings here, on Artid and on Facebook.
