BeantwoordenVerwijderenand your etching!
happy weekend xo
Dear Patrice, I like your Matisse interpretation, with hints of tribal art or underwater world floating corals or octopusarms or whatever and the one who looks as if he had scored the decisive goal in a foot play (probably the dutch team winning against germany like always ;) )
BeantwoordenVerwijderenVery unique, playfull and very well done!
xo Barbara
wauw,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenje doet het weer,
gewoon,
altijd magisch mooi!
He bolle, ziet er leuk en gaaf uit. Beetje lang okselhaar bij die meiden, maar het danst wel lekker. Je bent weer druk zie ik.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYour elegant and energetic dancers take the stage one by one, making a stunning and dramatic presentation - just like the ballet.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHappy 100th, Patrice - such a privilege to be part of this company of international art friends.

wow, love it! especially that there is at first one dancer and the others join....so beautiful!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenspectacular Patrice! I love the look of that first dancer by herself. It is so beautiful... when I looked at the image where the second dancer joined in I was again so delighted and that delight went on and on as I continued through the images. Beautifully done. Thanks for the inspiration.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMatisse would love this, Patrice! I love the progression of movement from one dancer with the next. Truly stunning.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks for this 100th challenge. It's such a joy to be part of this artistic group. xo Carole

I think this is my favorite so far--so striking and exuberant! Cindi
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSrolling through your post made me feel like watching a dance show! Only one dancer first, beautiful for itself, then came the others, one by one, which surprised and amazed me! Energetic and reveling final! Powerful presentation! Great!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLove, how they come together.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWonderful post for this great theme.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is a fabulous post for DANCE. "Eat your heart out" Matisse!

BeantwoordenVerwijderenand congratulation on the 100 drawing challenge!
this is a wonderful piece
BeantwoordenVerwijdereni loved seeing each photo with another dancer added making it come to life.
Happy 100th! what a fun celebration- old and new in movement- and so elegant and simple- how I yearn for those qualities :) and you make it look so easy Patrice!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you for such a perfect theme!!
happy 100th! what a beautiful dance!
BeantwoordenVerwijderendance is my favorite of all, especially butoh, you know that.
my relatives thought i would become a dancer, because i danced so much when i was a child.
i still do, when i´m happy. :)
sometimes during the night, all alone.
it makes me whole.
i´m in the middle of some kind of a dance just now, i´m sorry i didn´t make it.
too much unfinished things.
but you have been on my mind all the time :)
even on a bus i saw dry leaves dancing in the wind, i thought i should take a photo or passing a small river, it looked like a dance as well...
with love,
and a lot of dancing,
ritva
Patrice, I am in! I am dancing!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is a great theme and so appropriate for this most monumental
challenge.
Love from California.
