oil on board
We live in a desert though you wouldn't know with all the greenery carpeting the hills and it's raining relentlessly so I'm working on an image that I caught at a local market last year back when it was sunny. This fellow was under a tent and I had to crop his head for the composition but I really just wanted to catch his enthusiasm with his feet kicking up to the music. Funny how little things make a difference. Had he been just standing no matter how lively the music I would have walked by. I love painting people in motion and will eventually work on dance if I can get some good resource photos.

you've definitely captured the enthusiasm - that feeling was the first that came across !
Barb - this is great. I love the blue that moves throughout the painting - ties everything together as well as capturing the movement of the music. Well done.
What fun this is. Really like your work
Thank you Pat, Tammy and Becky - this really was fun and so different to try to convey movement as opposed to mood.
