Today started out as one of those uninspired days when I wasn't pleased with the progress I was making with my painting. (My wife tells me "wasn't pleased" is a gross understatement.) After lunch I Googled some inspiration ~ the ballet paintings of Edgar Degas ~ which gave me the idea to add more figures to this canvas. Something about these figures at rest in the background, in contrast with the dancer practicing in the foreground, feels right to me. Once again I'm excited about this painting and eager to continue working on it.
