Lady in Red
Acrylic painting on paper, 8" x 10" unmounted. A passionate performance, of an Argentine tango.
Dancin in the Street
Acrylic on paper, 8" x 10" unmounted. I really admire these dancers they are so athletic and dynamic creating the most amazing shapes when dancing.

Blowin the Blues
Blowin the Blues is the second painting in my Northern Folk series of acrylics it is 10" x 8" unmounted. I am really enjoying using acrylic paint again, it is such a versatile paint and is easy to use. Can't wait to get started on the next one!
