Well, I see it's pretty late, even for two steppers, so I'll sign off, now. Thanks so much for stopping - or should I say, stepping, by my blog!

Scootin' - original oil figurative painting of country dancers
This cowboy is taking a really long step, but he aims to get himself and his little lady across the floor pronto.
Many of my youthful hours were spent in this kind of entertainment. Back then, it was not very mainstream, but now country dancing has become quite popular.
I loved going to the dance hall on Saturday nights - not only because I wasn't supposed to, which made it so tempting - but because I could soak up the surroundings, the people, the atmosphere, and the music. It's all burned into my brain and I often paint these experiences. There are a couple of larger country dancers paintings that need to be finished and I hope to get that done in December.
Scootin' is painted on 7 x 5" Ampersand Gessobord. Thanks so much for stopping by!

The Dance Hall - original oil figurative painting
This painting is on 11 x 14" Fredrix archival canvas board. I was going to describe
my summer self-education in drawing and my new adventures in oil sticks (not oil pastels), but
trying to post on Blogger tonight is difficult and is driving me so crazy, I just want to get out of here - maybe
tomorrow's posting will be easier! Hope all is going well for all of you - thanks for stopping by!

Cowboy Boogie - original oil figurative painting
Here's a little ditty that I did some time ago and just now decided to post it. This painting is on 6 x 6" Gessobord. Thanks for stopping by - have a great weekend everybody!
PS. Now that I look at this painting, it seems that she had to take him by the hand and show him how to dance. This cowboy seems a little intimidated! Sold

Two Step Lovers - original oil figurative painting
I love the skirts with a little lace peeking out underneath. This painting, 7 x 5" on Gessobord, has lots more brushwork than I usually do and I am pretty happy with it. It was just a delight to do - I've seen this "hold" that they have on each other a few times and I think it's, well, "sweet".

Slow Dancing - original oil pastel figurative painting by Connie Chadwell
On a hot Texas night, it's cool in the honky-tonk, with lots of chatter, pitchers of beer and two-stepping music. This painting is oil pastel on 12 x 9" Pastelbord. Thanks so much for stopping by! Sold

Western Swing - original oil western dancer figurative painting by Connie Chadwell
This is another painting done on 8 x 10" single primed linen board and I'm amazed at how little paint is required. It's really a thin application with a soft appearance - a very different experience for me. No worrying about softening edges here. Loved doing this one. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog - I really appreciate it!
