Dancer

24" x 36"

Oil on stretched canvas

Created: 2003

I have never worked on a canvas that was such a large size before. I discovered quickly that my arm and shoulder became tired much faster than with a smaller one. This dancer is based on the Arabian Dancers that are usually portrayed in exotic settings. I wanted to make sure that the movement and rhythm of her dance was apparent. Also, this was one of the few times that I used my anime style in a painting. Just a side note: I think that I really like to paint the flowing lines of draperies and fabrics.
