[Laurel Alanna McBrine]

I was pleasantly surprised to see one of Sharon's ballerinas featured on the cover of the March issue of Artist's Magazine.

Beautiful work, Sharon - it is somewhat reminiscent of Sargent's Lady Agnew of Lochnaw - compare your backdrop and her chair! I don't know if this is just a serendipitous coincidence or you planned it that way, since your young model also looks a bit like the lady in question, with her dark updo, frontal pose and direct gaze.

Congratulations!
