A Dream in a Field
Soft pastels on paper
The wind whispers in your ears, and the flowers sing to you as you walk through the meadow. It all feels so faint, yet to real at the same time. You wonder where you are, yet you know this feeling in your heart. You want to stay here forever, lost in the fantasy and whimsy.

Ballerina

Grace and elegance incarnate, a dancer takes center stage and wisps across your view in a display of total control over her body and movements. The strength and skill cannot be fully shown through just a still, a single moment within the entirety of a performance, and yet the energy remains.
