Pointe Shoe Paintings
As an artist, many of my paintings are devoted to the beauty of ballet! I have tremendous respect for dancers and for what can be expressed on the dance floor. I watch dancers in class and at rehearsal several times a week. And when the muse of ballet is with me - the beauty of it flows right through my brush.
Pointe Shoes Are Not for Pansies
Years of study, exercise, and ankle strengthening were required before taking my daughter to buy her first pair of pointe shoes. The first time I saw her rise up confidently on her toes was unforgettable for me. The lines and extension of her body reminded me of a tall willowy tree. And the illusion of weightlessness . . . . as an artist I was hooked.Over the years I have acquired huge respect for the discipline, and the athletic ability behind what you can see on stage or on the dance floor. The strength required is often hugely underestimated. Dancers cannot show their sweat or pain as football players do. A dancer must conceal any sign of pain or exertion and make it look effortless.
A Pointe Shoe Still Life Just for You
Pointe shoes and ballet slippers can be stunning subjects for a painting. Many of my pointe shoe paintings are 5 X 7 inches and fit into a standard 5 x 7 frame or 8 x 10 frame.However you can order your pointe shoe painting in whatever size or color scheme that works for you.

They're so beautiful! I like the simplicity of them, yet they have an energy like they would dance right off the painting. :) Posted July 22, 2008 |
