Hung up on flamenco at the moment - today I listened to Spanish gypsy music. Lots of wailing and emotion, just like real flamenco. Kind of a different grip on the fan, but she really did it, then deftly flipped it around without a hitch - if they only knew how difficult it is to portray - oh well, it's good practice! My Able Assistant seems to approve - I've started showing him all my work - not just some of it. When he looks confused, I figure the piece needs more work - but no confusion today. Just the wagging of his little stub of a tail (cocker spaniel) - always a good sign! On 10 x 10" canvas. Thanks for looking!

I just LOVE flamenco Dancing... So passionate! And you have captured the energy beautifully!!
Love this one...beautiful colors. My cousin (Nydia Caro) even though she was a singer, I remember many moons back when she danced with maracas ...and she used this movement... Very much like this painting... Beautiful work as always....
Wow Hilda - this is so interesting to me - so you got to see her dancing up close - as opposed to me where I'm just in the audience! I'm fascinated - (and just the teensiest bit envious)!
Hi Sandra - and thanks so much! I am also a lover of flamenco - such drama - in another life, I would like to have been one of these dancers. Sigh.... Great to see you here!
