I Can Do It - watercolor portrait by Kathy Michels

Watercolor portrait of another little ballerina. I am still working on the portraits of my young ballerinas. The intensity continues - this little one is just concentrating so hard. I think I am enjoying painting this age group because of all the facial expressions I captured during my photo shoot. Her little chest is puffed out and she is just so into watching her little classmates as she prepares for her turn.

Really, really special Kathy--you certainly are an expert at capturing these youthful expressions--

So adorable, Kathy!

The front page of the Patriot News carried a photo of the most adorable 3 little girls, sitting and waiting to appear in their church's Christmas pageant--dressed in white robes and wearing sparkling halos--I thought of you, Kathy, right away.--Hope you get The Patriot.

I agree with Cecelia. You have a niche with these little ladies. I can see a self-portrait peaking out of this one Kathy.
