Seduction - Palette Knife Tango painting in Oils

By now I am sure it would be very evident that I love painting the Tango and it is such an oft repeated motif in my work. I just thought how it would be to do without the legs for once. Most of my Tango paintings, if not all of them, primarily have red and black in the palette. I also went in for a different palette doing away with red and going in for a lot of browns.

And this painting is much larger than my other Tango pieces. Let me know what you think. I did not like it that much initially, but now I like it. After setting it aside for a while I did not want to change anything about it, which is a good thing.

Dancing feet #22 - New Tango Painting

So it is back to the dancers now. Working on the summer series over the last whole week was just the break I needed, I was indeed a little fatigued with the dancers and I felt a monotony setting in. And yesterday I was *so* ready to do another dancer! I missed them! Have a couple of more belly dancers underway and will be getting to them asap.
