Practicing
Practicing in the city neighborhood
I grew up in as a teen
I remember them
Beautiful
Desirable
Scary
They rehearsed as dancers and
models
Testing how liberated they were
Pretending I didn’t exist
I didn’t
Eyes in the clouds
Their temporary role models
weren’t much older
Though I feared them more
Not pretending as much
They acknowledged me
With practiced dark glares
This
is the painted version of the sketch posted back in early September. The
painting has been leaning against the studio wall wanting more attention for a
week now. Today I added more paint.
22”x
28” acrylic on stretched canvas

Bonjour cher Anthony,
ReplyDeleteJ'aime la manière que vos danseuses évoluent... Elles semblent vouloir interpréter une danse spéciale, celle que leurs impulsions intérieures leur dictent...
J'aime beaucoup les nuances de couleurs.
Gros bisous
I remember, that they were trying life on, still what it felt like what they could be...I didn't quite get it then I get it now, and it's awesome
ReplyDeleteThey hopefully avoided some of the falls.
DeleteThank you
Gosh...they ARE awesome, aren't they!
ReplyDeleteI would feel intimidated...possibly even cancelled out by their "larger than life" presence.
Even the buildings appear to shrink in their company!!
Yes...absolutely awesome...:)
They are sort of larger than life here. Memories do that.
DeleteThank you
You have captured that feeling of "I am better than you"...kind-of haughty and of completely being ignored! I enjoyed and liked this painting very much, Anthony, and I am sure that if you met them today, you would no longer be ignored~~~
ReplyDeleteI'd still be ignored.. But Thanks
