New Painting Completed

     I sold two My Special Date paintings at the recital, so after completing the second one, I did this special order Does Your Mother Know.  The song is from Abba and I have now downloaded it on my ipod and have been singing along for a few days! The dancers looked like they were having a lot of fun being on stage and performing this song. 
     This is Amanda who I met at the recital. Her mother ordered the painting as a surprise birthday present.  I wish I could be a fly on the wall to see her reaction.  Another mother bought the 12"x24" Ariel for the same reason and gave it to her daughter that night.  It is gratifying to think this work is becoming part of someone's childhood memory.

Ariel

I have just had the privilege of doing a series of paintings for the 5678 Dance Studio in Buford, GA.  The three 30"x60" paintings caused a great deal of excitement and the owner, Anne Marie Wilson, put the enthusiasm of her students to good use.  The girls named each one of the dancers and wrote essays about them.  The teachers picked a winner whose reward will be to perform the narration during the spring recital.  Since Grace was first, the studio ordered t shirts.  My daughter, Victoria, did the graphic design work.  It has been a delight to work on these canvases and I am thrilled the young dancers love them so.
