Let's dance....

Hi Everyone!  I'm trying to get this written before the storm hits.  We're in line for some severe storms tonight.  It's been really windy all day and hot, so the conditions are right for storms.  I'll happily take the rain, but the severe wind or hail are definitely not needed.

I was finally able to get some pictures of the artwork I told you about last night on my lunch break today.

Here are my silhouette ballroom dancers.  What do you think?

 I painted the backgrounds of the canvases with a cream/tan color.

 I then sketched on the dancers and painted them with black paint.

Then I antiqued them.  The background looks much better in person.  

I think there was too much light.

I found these three frames in my stash of frames, they are just cheap brown frames from Wal-Mart.  I painted them with black paint and then a wash of blue paint.  I then sanded them lightly and I love the way the frames turned out.  Almost more than I like the dancers.  So what do you think?  Are you in to ballroom dancing?  I think they are sort of interesting.  Thanks for stopping by.
