Ballerina - oil on canvas, 28x22 in
She is a ballet dancer.
It's early morning, and there is no one else in the studio - only her reflection on the mirror.
She is preparing herself to be on a center stage.
She knows that there is no shortcut to this.
Just practice, practice and more practice.
Sometimes she is frustrated, disappointed and discouraged.
Then she takes a deep breath. And stand on her toe tips again.
She knows that someday she will become the best ballerina.
Until then, she will practice and practice and ...

Hi Peter,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your inspiring comment: "Salute your bold stretch from the realism". Honestly, I do try for that but find myself wanting to stretch even more. I do appreciate your identifying whatever abstraction I do have. I love this painting's sense of space and the lovely almost monochromatic colors. The asymmetry is powerful.
