Ballerina's legs
You can see an artist drawing this ballerina (and part of another, as well), if you look in the mirror. I shot this during one of our group's weekly life drawing sessions. I have a painting partially completed that duplicates this composition, and the photo was intended for reference in finishing the little painting. However, I kind of like it just as is -- as a photograph. I hate it when that happens. I lose some of my motivation to paint, when the photo works. In the painting, I would use a limited palette -- but here, there's a limited palette as well. So what is the function of the painting? You see what I mean? I'd leave the artists out -- would that make it better?
