Dancing for Joy
Angela's Dance
Angela's Dance was inspired by a dance performance that we attended in Buenos Aires, Argentina. When the curtain rose, we could see the silhouettes of two male dancers in formal wear. The angelic form of the female dancer arose in an eruption of colored smoke from below stage, and I knew this was an image that I would want to paint.

Arctic Dancer at Rest
This painting was inspired by performances of the Russian Native dance group "Sunshine" from Novo Chaplino, Chukotka, who performed at the Beringia Days Conference in Nome, Alaska. They helped finance their trip with their hand-made jewelry, including the beaded headress that I pictured in the painting.

Twilight Dancer
A young lady performs a traditional dance as the sun sets over the Pacific Ocean. To accurately depict the beautiful scene that I witnessed was a real challenge, but I'm very pleased with the final work.
