Your work is inspiring to say the least.......I can't believe that you used a knife to paint such a realistic look. How long does a piece like this take you?

Planning and sketching usually takes a couple of hours, then this painting took around 30 hours over a two week period...

They appear to be lost in the sensuality of the moment. The body positions are exquisite. I want to step into the painting and see them complete the dance. Absolutely beautiful image.

this is great! You've painted the emotions of tango very well... And the shadow in the top and on the floor intensifies this feeling...
