Ballerinas

I love Leonardo Da Vinci's works, and used his book of 'DANCERS', to copy his drawings, and put my own color to it. My twin-daughters love art just as much as I do, and decided to make their bedroom theme about ballerins. These paintings are not for sale, seeing it is copies, but it also have a personal touch to it, based on each of the twins' personality. The pink painting is Tonnisha's, seeing she is a real lady, soft in personality, and she's creative with her hands, too. The balerina in purples, is Marshann's and she is a 'tomboy', but love arts very much! They have made their own (small) painting, abstract, but unfortunately, they gave it to their teacher in 2010, as a gift, just before starting high-scholl this year, after I got it framed! I've teached myself how to draw and paint (mostly oil-paints), and will load up my works, and would love your comments about it!
