Scottish Art - Paintings of Scotland:
Highland Dancers

by D. Bruce Bennett

You wonder how they do it. Well, maybe you don't because you're a Highland dancer, but the rest of us sure do. We wonder how you dance so gracefully while wearing six-to-eight yards of wool in 95-degree summer weather, all the while performing on a rickety platform smack in the middle of a stuffy tent packed with relatives and friends - and judges.

Scottish Sword Dance

Henderson Sword Dancer
(commission)

In fact, someone you know (Mom, maybe, or Aunt Sally, or Grandma?) might like to reward you with, oh say, a print or painting of a Scottish highland dancer for all those hours of practice and those intense days of competition. Just a thought.

While the Scottish Sword Dance painting above and the original for our Happy Feet print have been sold, there's more where they came from - the right side of Bruce's brain. A commissioned painting of you in full sword dance regalia might be a nice Christmas-gift hint (the sooner after you win first place, the better).

Figure Grandma won't spring for the commissioning-paintings-thing, but she might go for something around $30? Then check our Happy Feet print and our Highland games poster which uses the same original artwork.

Then highland-fling this website URL far and wide to those with money who'd like to give you a pat on the back. It's shameless, we know. But when you're cute and talented - and young – you can sometimes get by with things the rest of us can't.
