An arabesque it is. Wonderful sense of joyous free movement. lf

I took lots of dance classes as a child and even later in college....tap, ballet, modern...and I think it really helps my art. I do feel the "dance" when I do brush and line work. Thanks, I'na for this lovely comment!

Many thanks, Joyce. I love doing these flowing designs...and now that I have a few more computer skills...I love finding the perfect color for them.

I was happy! This is a portion of a larger one and there may be more ...because I have lots of birds emerging!

I think it does too! What a beautiful tone of burnt orange for the stunning background! L/F/tw

I loved that color too. Great color choices on Picasa ...so fun to have the internet to as a painter's assistant!

Beautiful design and autumn colors, Nancy! The composition, the lines, and movement are reminiscent of music/dance! I love the richness of the tones and the grace of this work! l/f

Thanks, Elizabeth. This is a portion of a bigger piece and the rhythms had more room to grow!
