Do you love to be surrounded by a happy mix of figurative art? Feel best when you are not alone? Love watching the dance of life?

Dreams of The Nutcracker waft in the air...

The Leotard was made famous by the French acrobatic performer Jules Léotard who apparently died aged 28 - but made a lasting impact.

I spent 6 years painting in a ballet school. This meant I set up an easel in the classroom and painted what I saw, as fast as I could capture it. I love the resulting work, catching the girl's in their class. They were also always interested to see who had I painted this time? Could I paint them next time?

Because I spent several hours in the ballet school painting girl's in the various classes on offer there were also adult classes and this poised young lady was a regular. 

This is your chance to own one of these darling little pictures. 

I will send it to you in its cardboard mount carefully wrapped in protective cellophane.
