Sitting here watching "So You Think You Can Dance" and reflecting on my years as a dancer...I loved it! I miss it! I wish I was younger so I could try out for the show!!!
But something else cool crossed my path today. The addictive page Design D'Autore on Facebook floods your news feed with delicious eye candy every day. In the album Dance, they posted a few images from photographer William Wadman.

They took my breath away - as a dancer, and as an artist. For my MFA thesis exhibit at TCU, my body of work was all about capturing the movement, the energy, the dynamics of dance in my paintings. Not stagnant figures, but layers of arms, legs, torsos, hands and feet moving together across the canvas in layers of paint and charcoal.
This is "Can You Feel It", a very large canvas.
This photographer was capturing on film what I was striving for on the canvas! I loved it.
Another large painting from the series, "Movement in Thirds"
It's always a delight to come across another artist who is striving for some of the same goals in a different media - how we both came to a different solution to capture a similar feel.
