She who dances continues the tradition forward into her SEVENTH year!
This years Araikao prophecy dance seems to project confidence and certainty - she know where she's going, knows the steps to take and is well in control of her pace.She is moving forward in a sprightly stride, green for growth, vibrant with intent, and she's wearing diamonds on the soles of her shoes.

Shes fit, she's muscular, she's happy. Looks like its going to be a good year.
Of course I won't be certain until the end of the year and I can look back with the 2008 Araikao dancing on the threshold yet again.

The improvement in anatomy is splendid.
This is the first time I have worked her soley in colour pencil and it has certainly paid off!
