Your daughter is beautiful...a perfect dancer. How old is she? Your paintings remind me of the great masters...

Definitely the determination n delicate demure of a professional ballet dancer! she has it there! The grace n the will n the strong beauty n yet so young n innocent, a lovely inspiration for all your years to come. Such a warm n tender creation! CB

great attention to detail, and colors are warm and honest. NOt that I'm comparing your style to him, so I mean this in the most positive way, Degas would be proud. Because alot of his subjects were dancers.

The hard edge on the outside of this lovely painting spoils it for me. I hope you can still change it so that it no longer looks "cut and paste".

I love this, Patrick! I love the textures and the earthy shades plus the expression in the girl's eyes
