I absolutely love your work. The passion of the dancers pours out from these paintings
how do you upload your paintings onto deviantart with such high quality??

Thanks Alicia,
There are two issues really. I scan the originals. They are not photo's. Also, I upload a high resolution image of typically 10,000 pixels on the longest side. Though the originals are scanned at around 24,000 pixels on the longest side.
Hope this makes sense and helps...

I'll take a look at my scanner and try to figure it all out. It definitely helps, thanks!

Her muscle definition is insane. More proof ballet is one of the toughest, harshest, most difficult sports there is. But it's very worth it (:

You've captured the essance of a dancer perfectly. The suclpting of her muscles is expertly done, her feet pointed exactly.I'm proud to be a dancer when I see this.

I hate to find a critique for this piece, but I do have one. Her extened arm should be rounded more, held in a more graceful way. That is the only improvement I could think of.

Thanks Alex. Once I scan the original at the end of next month I will. This photo is poor quality fo rit's blurred and the colours are weak.
