Marinera Nortenia

Marinera Nortenia is a very popular folk dance of Peru. But dancing with the paso horse is a special porfermance every year in Lima and Trujillo. I never dance with a horse but my partner on the floor. The show of paso horse is very exciting and takes you back to those old days.
When I paint this work, I did not know how to use obvious brush stroke and fell into the trap of the details. Spent a looooooot of time to the details. Anyway, hope that it shows you a different beauty of people. Any critics , suggestions about this work are warmly welcomed.

Comment by Ningning Li on November 11, 2016 at 7:34: Pauline, Thank you. I struggled and labored so hard to cook it out. I think that I am truly a hard working handcraft woman. Only if you were being with me when I was painting it you would know what I mean and you would give me a big hug. Thank you again, Pauline , so happy to hear the nice words which make me feel better. By the way, I enjoy your work very much too.
