The well-worn toe shoe. Why does it facinate me? It has a solid toe base, firm and strong, yet the body of the shoe is flexible and soft. The mix of soft and hard, grace and strength, blood and beauty all thrown together in a stormy dance.
The talent and strength of being able to dance in toe shoes is fascinating to me. I could never do it. But to watch the dancers tap around on their toes takes enormous strength and skill along with lithe beauty. It draws me and appeals to my inner senses. Paint and words, color and black, beauty and fact...hmmm.
