At the Barre
Oil on canvas, 8x6 |
With this painting, I am remembering the countless hours spent shuttling my oldest daughter back and forth to dance. For many years, we attended every recital and competition - from Disneyland to the MGM Grand. I never tired of watching Tiffany dance, the music, the excitement of shows and competitions, and the long hours of practice were all part of the game. I have really been wanting to study the figure in paint lately, and here I work for looser, impressionistic strokes. I like the drama of lost edges and irregular lines, as if viewed in a dream. This painting makes 385 in 385 days, and Day 20 in the 30 day painting challenge.
