La Rose ~


Sean recently had the opportunity to show some of his ballerina paintings {First Ballet Slippers is one of my all-time favorites}at the premieres of Napa Valley Ballet's Jeux D'Enfants and Romanza.  

The evening inspired him to paint this recent work titled, La Rose.  I love how he captured the Principal Ballerina's repose so beautifully.

**La Rose, a 28 x 40 inches oil on linen painting is for sale.  If interested, please contact melissa@reverie-daydream.com

  4. This painting is stunning. I love the way he captured the light and the shadows -- and even her movement though she's still. Your husband is wildly talented.

  7. Sean is a true artist. He amazes me how he captures the mannerisms of his subject. As we know his gift is rare. Have a good week dear friend.

  10. Breathtaking. I love the light and dark, the contrast is lovely. And I agree with Anait, I can feel the movement in the shadows. I would have loved to have seen the entire exhibit. Someday.

  16. This painting is beautiful. I love the soft blurred lines mixed with the light and shadows- center stage all alone stilled in a graceful pose.

    It won't be too long before Gaia's ballet movements are captured in oils and linen.

    I enjoyed our talk as well. We do have so much in common! Yes, a once a month chat would be lovely. I hope your week is going well.
