Let's Dance, watercolor © April M Rimpo |
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.
