I was a relative late-comer to the virtues of Strictly Come Dancing (aka Dancing with the Stars), but for the past four years or so I have been held in rapture by the glamour, the sequins, the passion and the romance of the dance...
I tried to capture some of this in this piece (for Sunday Sketches) where the background was just crying out Argentine Tango... (my personal favourite dance. It's not Harry... obviously.... If I'd had to stare for a prolonged period and try to draw that six pack and guns I may have got myself all of a fluster...
I have some tango music somewhere. I may have to dig it out and gancho around the kitchen while cooking lunch.
Well done Harry - you are the nation's sweetheart... just adorable!

lovely piece, you've done a great job in conveying that sultry mood!
ReplyDeletewell you have captured it! and oh so sultry! Have a wonderful Christmas Season!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and so expressive! Have a great Christmas!
ReplyDeleteTango is my "getting stuff done" soundtrack--I love to listen to those strings while I'm sweeping very seriously. Hehe!
ReplyDeleteEverything about your painting suggests the tango...the movement you have captured and the colour...rich and dark and moody..just brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI will also miss Strictly....Harry definitely deserved to win!

love your painting Lisa, so full of feeling and dreamy.
ReplyDeleteLovely capture! I'm surprised I haven't seen Dancing with the Stars yet, considering how much I adore dancing.
ReplyDeleteOh boy am I weeping...I love Strictly, so glad Harry won... their Argentine Tango was brilliant...loved Aliona's dress.... I've been hooked since series two. Love your sketch, you've captured the mood. The French don't know what Panto is... Jack and Beanstalk that I went to today was played by an amateur group of expats. I used to be part of the group with my two daughters...but distance and work meant I had to give up... We had a good afternoon... :)
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh, sultry and sexy! So you! :) Happy SS!
ReplyDeleteA dynamic duo for sure! Your art sketch is brilliant as well. It truly embodies the tango!

You've definitely captured the passion and grace of the Tango in this piece. The colors and portrait work well together.
