Project Description
This portrait painting of ballerinas is a commission from our niece in No. Canton, Ohio. She sent me photos of our great-niece (center) and her friends relaxing after a ballet class. The girls had been dancing together since childhood. It was their senior year and they knew that they would soon be off on their separate paths. This poignant and intricate painting of ballerinas is perhaps my most challenging ever because of the change in perspective from the photos and the girls’ reflections in the mirror. I loved figuring it all out! I’m especially pleased with the reflections of the ballet shoes on the shiny floor.
Enjoy another portrait painting of 3 young women.
