D is for Dancing and for Degas
Edgar Degas
Let us dance in the sun, wearing wildflowers in our hair..

If you think of Dancing, and then if you think of painters, who does the
Joy of the Dance better than Degas.

Degas was quite the master when it came to dancers! Great post.
The picture you posted of Dancers by Degas is one of my favorites.
Perfect choices for the letter D Hildred.
a perfect choice.
The first photo is vibrant and joyful, and the second is a delicate Degas classic, but both of them are beautiful in their own unique way. A delightful post for the letter D.

I remember that there were Degas prints on the walls in my school.

Those are delightful Dancing Degas. I love how well he captures movement.
Indeed, the greatest of dancers!
Delightful. Though looking out this morning I think it'll have to be 'dancing on ice with a woolly hat pulled down over my ears!'
Wow! Two very different paintings on one topic from Degas.
Degas was one of the best impressionist painters, and certainly my favourite one. This balletdancer is so elegant and beautiful. Thanks for sharing this, Hildred and Charles! Thanks for your visits and always kind comments.

I love Degas. Nobody does dancers quite as well as he.
I love Degas' paintings of the ballerinas!

You do the MOST lovely job of this alphabet meme Hildred. Yes, his paintings show the most beautiful joyful dances ever.
Gorgeous paintings!
