    Fascinating. Even though most of us know a painting is different -- and should be different, perhaps -- it can be hard to say why. You express this well. SquidAngel blessings.

    Your paintings are lovely. My grandmother loved to do oil paintings of ballet dancers as well; my middle daughter inherited one when she passed. I treasure her work. Thanks for sharing such a joyous talent :)

    A painting can show so much more than a photography because the painting can show emotion, the important parts as seen through the eyes of the painter. Thank you for pointing out the differences.

    A painter deserves to be danced. :)

    You have explained a very difficult concept and as an artist I appreciate this lens on many levels. I don't want my paintings to look like a photo either so thanks for saying this. Wonderful images of dancers too.

    I enjoyed reading this lens and checking out your artwork site -- you also mentioned practicing yoga -- have you thought about painting yoga practitioners?

    The heading "As We Look - Our Eyes Dance" is so apt! A photo rarely brings in the atmosphere or the depth of what we're bringing in through our "dancing eyes" :-)
  • AnnRadley Sep 19, 2010 @ 12:30 pm | delete
    Yes I have - almost feels like you are reading my mind! There is something so inspiring about portraying the beauty and suble energy. I did one painting of the Siva Nataraja recently - however this is a new direction for me. As far as yoga practitioners - YES - wondeful idea. Thanks so much for your kind suggestion and comments!

    Great :-) I don't know if you also make greeting cards out of your paintings, but I think there should be more yoga cards with good designs of poses!
  • AnnRadley Sep 21, 2010 @ 5:38 pm | delete
    Greeting cards can be ordered from any of my paintings - on FineArtAmerica (link is above) But were you meaning to illustrate the beauty of a pose, or more how to do a pose correctly?

    Your work is amazing, Ann. Really beautiful!

    I too love ballet and have painted dancers, although I wish I could get more action shots, Very lovely paintings and thanks for your comment on my squidoo!

    The first one reminded me of Degas. Your work is beautiful, and I love how you detail the differences between the camera and the brush.

    Trisha, what wonderful, wonderful paintings. Such joy in them. A pleasure to behold. xx

    Enjoyed your lens. I love your work! Being both a photographer and painter, I have to agree with your comments. That is why I so often find myself tweaking my photos in an attempt to add to them the emotion that I felt when viewing the subject with the movement or "dance" of my eyes!

    Loved the intro. to your work and especially 'a Ballerina Fairy Poised on a Raven.'

    This is such a beautiful lens. My daughter is a ballet dancer and hopes one day to be a professional dancer. Few people realise just how much hard work and dedication this takes.
