tiny dancers

Tiny dancers

6 x 6 in.

Inspired by my own time as a tiny ballerina, as well as this adorable photo that swiss-miss shared yesterday.

I always danced in the opposite direction to all the other ballerinas. Going to have to track down those photos of me as five year old ballerina and share it with you

Oh. I found them! 

Marisa as a ballerina. Yup, that would be me, the one in the middle going the wrong direction {I’ve always liked marching to the beat of my own drum or flute, in the case of this Nutrcracker dance} ;)

here it looks like I’m in sync with the dancers again.

Yes, it’s true. One of my dreams was to also be a ballerina.  Lotta dreams and a lotta plans.

I swear, every time you post I think "that one's my favorite!"

No wait, THIS one is definitely my favorite! So sweet and really captures the uniqueness and personality of each dancer. I am not surprised it sold so fast (although for my own selfish reasons I am sad that it did!)

Love it!
This is so very, very charming. I want to pinch it. Yep.
Love this painting!:O) soo adorable:O)
Marisa, I just love this little painting. It is so adorable. My sister and I tried ballet for awhile when we were young and decided it wasn't for us. We took piano lessons for instead.
