It is so genteel!
Thank you:)
she looks like she is dancing, and concentrating hard on practising her steps. Maybe she is meeting someone special later on, and feels a bit nervous? So many stories you could tell here – a very special talent indeed!
Hadn’t thought of that! Thanks so much Emily!
Beautiful composition. The soft colours & choice of subject carry the viewer to another time and place. 🙂
Thank you:)
Levitating with intensity. She does have an eerie look in her face, almost doll-like. I wonder what spooked her? A beautiful water colour.
Thank you Otto.
Floating pure but the eyes!
Thanks Doron!
Elena, she reminds me of an old porcelain doll. Delicate… and spooky!
Yes! I see it:)
She saw a ghost! Or perhaps she is the ghost . . .
Two very good possibilities!
Spooky and bewitching! 🙂
Thanks ever so much:)
I’m seeing her twirling round round and … round some more in a musical box … with another little girl smiling with delight …
Love it Elena .
Oh, I like that Poppy! Thank you!
I like her – great series
Thank you Katrien!
So sweet Elena!
Thank you Adrian!
Wide-eyed dancer – she looks a bit timid! From another time for sure.
Long time ago:) Thanks Karen.
Love it!
Thank you!
another beautiful portrayal of an era gone by. very nice!
Thank you:)
A very unnerving, cold stare! If I have funny dreams tonight, I shall know who to hold responsible… but beautiful stuff, as ever.
I will bear that burden;) Thanks much Steven.
Learning the ballet?! Beautiful expression, Elena! 🙂
Thank you Marina:)
Love it! She looks like she’s dancing with an invisible person 😉
That’s the idea;) Thanks Jess!
The spookiest one yet!
Yup;)
Very striking.
Thanks very much Millie.
Well I’m officially caught up on your postings and I just live that little “skittering!” My favorite! Well “rainy day” too….oh, they are all great!
Thanks Robin. Glad you enjoyed:)
Spooky
I agree:)
This looks like a doll from a horror movie… Great job with the facial feathers.
Kinda eerle for sure. Thank you.
I can hear her dress move as she comes down the hall – love how you are able to paint so few strokes that gives the lightest of impression and yet we are able to see the whole.
Beautifully poetic Mary! Thank you.
