Jellybeans Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 "Pointes and Ribbons" Oil on Canvas, 16 x 20 - by: Sheila Orysiek (Anjuli-Bai)" I have just spotted this - at least, I think I have spotted something.... Is there no end to your talent, Anjuli? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I noticed too, Jellybeans, and was going to say something! You beat me to it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjuli_Bai Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) Well, thank you so much! It is very much appreciated. (Imagine my shocked surprise in seeing this thread!) Since I've retired from dance I've had the time to take up some other things I enjoy - painting among them. I really enjoy painting dance. If you so desire - you can view the paintings here - several of them are dance related: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1685274583506.85821.1586901336 Click on each thumbnail to view the entire painting. There are other things I enjoy doing - but they are all entirely on the right side of the brain - the other side is completely empty! So, to make up for that huge lack - I married a man (50 yrs ago ihis coming June) who has enough brain for both of us - especially on the left side! He loves the ballet and does all the technical stuff - like photographing my paintings and putting them up on the computer as jpegs and tiffs (whatever that all is). Once again - thank you - you've made my day (week, month).

kiwimum Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Thank you for sharing your art with us Anjuli...they are lovely. I am more of an LS Lowry painter myself...matchstick men! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O`Brien Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Thank you so much,Anjuli. And it has been interesting reading all about you too.!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ja Sm Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Thank you so much Anjuli, your paintings are really beautiful. Do you sell? My dd already views you as something of a gospel,and when we are discussing anything ballet, she asks "I wonder what Anjuli would say...?" perhaps an art mentor as well now?

jm365 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Dear Anjuli For those of us, like me, not on Facebook, is there any other way of seeing the paintings? Julia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primrose Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Your paintings are wonderful, its very interesting how many ballet dancers are also very talented in painting. Anjuli I think you would make a great mentor to the younger generation of aspiring ballet dancers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 What a nice post, Primrose! Anjuli is a real treasure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjuli_Bai Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Wow - what a thread to wake up to on a Sunday morning! How can I thank you? Some answers to questions from posts above.... The link I provided should allow you to see the paintings whether or not you are on FB. Try this link - FB says it should work for those not on FB: I do sell but very occasionally since the paintings are sort of "my children"....and I'm not anxious to sell them. The only mentoring I've done with the paintings is to say - try it - you've nothing to lose. Buy yourself a beginer set of paints, try it - no one has to know - no one is the judge. If you don't like it throw it out - no one has to know that either. Everyone's art is individual - it doesn't have to look like anyone else's and in fact, shouldn't. That's pretty much what I think about ballet students - especially adults (for whom I cherish a special place in my heart). You have all allowed me to become a part of your communiity - this American who lives so far away - and for that I am grateful. You have given me an opportunity to feel connected to that special world called "dance" through the difficult years of leaving it actively behind. The other day, deep in a drawer in my sewing chest, I found a bunch of short pink elastics which I had cut - ready for my pointe shoes - but never used. I was so sad - but then I clicked in here and felt once again the living connection. And - for that you have my thanks. (yes, this is rather maudlin, I admit - but as an American perhaps you'll grant me that leeway). 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
