Creative Tuesdays - Aqua

Welcome to Creative Tuesdays' 'Aqua' theme! My piece is done on a blue (2"w x 3"h) post-it note in acrylic, outlined with a fine-point marker. I actually took ballet lessons as a teenager and remember using these pointe shoes, I may still have a pair somewhere. They were very uncomfortable and caused blisters on my feet.

Gracefully done! I never graduated to point shoes, I preferred climbing trees 😉

Be Valerieautiful drawing, but I can imagine they make sore feet, and they would not be good for my gouty toes!

That's true. High heels will injure your leg as well as you will get back-pain ...

Just beautiful Christine!

Very elegant and such a great take on the colour. I love how you use post-it notes, so inventive.

I love to watch ballet, and took a ballet class one summer at the YWCA when I was in sixth grade.

Beautiful ballerina slippers and lovely legs....just beautiful, graceful take on Aqua. Love it.

Pointe shoes are sadly painful, yet beautiful in what they can help a dancer achieve. And I love these! I love dance and ballet costumes; you've got the design and movement of the feet and pointe shoes perfect, and it's an added plus that it's done with my favorite color scheme (with blue green and aqua being two of my favorite colors). Well done!

Oh how lovely! I love the colors and the elegant pointe shoes!

Michael said...

Totally agree there. :)

OH, I so love this, Christine. Beautiful indeed.

Reminds me of when I used to take....naaaaah! I did see a lot of ballets growing up though as my mother so loved it and my sister did ballet for years until she broke her toe en pointe when about 14 or so.

Anyway, what a serene, even graceful piece! Really well done. I love how clean and balanced it is. Perfect for ballet too. Wow. This one really makes me smile, imagining its size and everything.

Hi Christine, I just love your ballet shoes, especially that you showed just part of the legs and the shoes. Very creative take on the word "aqua". :-)

Again, very well done. My granddaughter would love this picture as she really loves toe shoes. I think they must be really horrible for your feet.

The two aqua shades are so pretty and so apt for this elegant pose. Beautiful.
