Inspired by the ballet of Swan lake (Music by Tchaikovsky) Which I sincerely love, even more than the ballet ;) I know it isn't portraying the swan princess exactly, no crown, wings (which she might have had when transofming from swan to human)but then, as I said, it was inspired by...!

If I stare at it long enough maybe some of your talent will rub off...yep...any year now...

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "I learned a lot of looking at other poeples work... though never thought it would work for other people looking at mine... go ahead and stare though! I'm terribly honoured!"

I love the imagination behind these pieces. I don't think it's worth anything if you can draw but you can't think up your own work. The use of soft pastel shades indicates the feelings of peace often associated with swans so good work. Yeah I'm gonna go talk crap to someone else now thank you for your time 12 xx

I'm also doing ballett - as a hobby - and I really like this picture. The colors and character are so delicate - it fits together very well.

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "Thankyou! I used to do Ballet and still love watching it.. right now I play waterpolo (wasserball) and those to don't mingle 8 Oh well! "

Wow........

This really does go with the music! I love her pose and her her dress and her wings and espicially her face and the swan too...um, yeah. I don't think there's a part of this pic I don't like.

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "Ain't that the beautifulliest piece of music you ever heard??? I wish I could draw anything as beautifull as to match with that. But for now I'm glad to be able to express some of it. Happy to see you enjoy too!"
