Child ballerina painting

Little Ballerina \\ Konstantin Razumov (1974, Russian)

I painted this painting when my sweet niece, Laine, was still in utero🎀 My sisters first baby, and we all were so excited to get a little girl in the family. Everyone wondered what she would look like.....today she had her first ballet class and outfit fitting....pretty darn close 🎀💗 .....#fineart #acrylic #childrensportraits #gift #anniversary #birthday #siblings #sisters #ballet #ballerina #instaart #instadaily #instaartist #courtneymohlerart

When I was younger, I took ballet for 12 years. Even though my body is stiff with arthritis, on a rough day, I can sit in a chair, hear the "Blue Tango" song in my head, and before I know it, my feet are sliding into ballet positions. What a sweet diversion.
