Description
This is for my friend Philippe, a splendid artist (philuf)... I know how much you also like to use glyphs in your works so this is a dedi for you... hope you enjoy it ;O)
Please, don't miss his gallery!
I only used Ultra Fractal and some sharpening with PSP in this work and I think it's quite special!
Info:
The cancan is a music hall dance, performed by a chorus line of female dancers who wear costumes with long skirts, petticoats, and black stockings, that hearkens back to the fashions of the 1890s.
The main features of the dance are the lifting up and manipulation of the skirts, with high kicking and suggestive, provocative body movements.
The French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec produced several paintings and posters of cancan dancers which are really splendid (A great inspiration for me doing this picture) ;O)
Thanks for all your clicks. I appreciate your support and all the comments on this and all my previous works. Also a big thanks to everyone who added my work as a favourite.
Have a wonderfulday!

well I'm skipping around, because in the next month or so I want to catch up on some of your wonderful images...And here (omg) you've captured the swirls & very movements of the cancan, as if you abstracted its spirit out of the dance and given it in its purest form. You've got the swirls & the paisleys & the undulations & the light-lines—lines you put in as if with a palette knife on oil, ie in golds & whites; which are free & sweeping, as if we were seeing the dancers 'aura' after each move. Those lights coagulate on the left and move into the center, a wonderful massing of energies. I love the intensified reds & greens at the bottom too. A wonderful evocation of the spirit of the dance & the whole milieu of Paris at that time. Beautiful piece. (Elizabeth, in addition to Toulouse-Lautrec [whose work was perfect], have you seen Jean Renoir's film on the cancan? On the chance you don't know him, he was Auguste Renoir's son & grew up among the Impressionists & the milieu of Paris at that time. The last 10 minutes of the film capture the motions & colors of the dance quite dramatically, using some wonderful camera angles & including some impossible moves. It's called "French Cancan," and I don't think it has a French title, even though the film was in French.)
