LMy My My inspiration for Let’s Dance came from a trip to New Orleans during the French Quarter Jazz Fest. A great festival with 21 stages from small ones like this stage set up next to the French Market to very large stadiums. A portable dance floor was in front of the stage encouraging everyone to dance. The central couple appeared to be professional dancers and their movements and energy motivated me to paint the scene. I had fun brightening it up with color to reflect the energy I felt while watching the dancers and listening to the lively music.

Whether you are a dancer or like me enjoy watching other’s dance I hope you enjoy this painting and the story of the day.

This painting was selected for the prestigious Baltimore Watercolor Society's 2020 Online Mid-Atlantic Regional Exhibition. Paintings are available through the artists and available upon completion of the purchase.  No waiting for the end of the exhibition.

Pelicans show off their flexibility and balance when preening their feathers after a morning swim.  I took countless photos that day waiting to capture one where they were all standing upright, then it dawned on me that their crazy poses were the real story of this painting. The subtle variation in color in their feathers went unnoticed until I started to paint them. Take some time to really enjoy the soft pastel shades of their plumage.
