Swirls of sass: ballerina painting

Enjoy some Kitri-inspired sass with this swirling ballet creation. Fiery colours and rich textures convey all the warmth and cheeky charm of this much-loved ballet heroine.

Medium: Original oil painting on canvas

Dimensions: 12 by 9 inches (approx.)

Completed: 2017

Artist notes: I explored a range of dance subjects using layers and layers of swirls. The works that loosely co-exist in this series include ballet and flamenco subjects. The series has had a long pause but I suspect I’ll be continuing these swirling explorations in the not-too-distance future.
