Great ballet movement in all of the paintings. all very well positioned with great arms and feet.. Have you studied ballet at all? well done Jim

Nicely put together Jim, hadn't realised you painted so many of these lovely and expressive poses Full of admiration for them.

I do like them , a lot Jim.

It looks great Jim. I've got two frames that hold eight 6 x 4 pics each, they are all different subjects. They look OK, but how much better they'd look when all to a theme (as here).

Super Jim, full of motion. I love Ballet as well.

I love them, Jim. Fabulous movement, my favourite is the bottom left, it’s quite ethereal.

Thanks so much everyone for the comments. Before I take too many plaudits, I take images from many sources and do variations of them, one is even a steal from a Degas pose. They are of course in many cases, A5 sketches. I never studies ballet Tao, but have been a lifetime dance lover, rock and roll and ballroom, and did three years or so in flamenco workshops and classes. I love dance even now even though I'm more Rudolf the reindeer than the other one..(-: .

i like the simple black and white best - bottom row second to last

I've reached 83 (84 in September ) years young and love to paint and draw. Watercolours are my preference used also with line and wash. I paint or sketch something most days of whatever takes my fancy. Glad to have found this site. I don't feel I have a set painting style but I tend to go for…
