Portrait of a Dancer

in WORLD OF XPILAR3 years ago (edited)

Portrait of a Dancer - Oil on canvas - 32 x 40 inches.

This image is a portrait of my niece Ruth, painted in what used to be my studio on the Gran Via in Valencia, Spain. We sense that she’s a pensive young woman, but we don’t know her thoughts. We also can’t share the thoughts of the cat. We suspect, however, that the cat — being a cat — knows whatever there is to know.

I liked your painting a lot. The dancer looks thoughtfully with her posture. This is expressed successfully. The calm posture of the cat reveals a quiet environment. The sunlight in the room added peace to the environment 👍

It reminds me of Vermeer's style of art. Beautiful work, @jmkartworks.

Hi John Michael, I answer you here, yes, you are right, it was mistyping of course the tag should be #art-venture, would you please correct your tag so that it can appear in the right place.

As you might have noticed your painting is already in our Magazine and you also may noticed few comments regarding the work. I really love this one, as it gives an impression of summer, hot day, breeze entering through wide open window-door. Beautiful shadows of the girl and the cat.

Thank you for all of this. I have now updated the tag, so it should appear in the correct place, and will use the right one for any future posts as well.

By the way, wanted to mention that on Steemit only first 5 tags visible, that is why no need to do more, #art-venture is the 6th that is why your work is not there. Also, #artzone is not existing for longer than a year, so you can remove that tag. Sorry for that :)

Thank you so much for this valuable information. I am not an expert at any of this, to put it mildly, so I rely on tips and tricks to learn my way around Steem. I really appreciate the guidance you provide.

I have now hopefully edited the post so that #art-venture is one of the first five tags. Thanks again for letting me know how this works.

Yes, that is visible now in our tag and looks great there with other Artwork. I am glad that you are there and see you around :)
