Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 24"x30"
This recent painting, Dancing 2025, was inspired by my previous work, The Waltz (2020). I included both pieces to show a progression of my work. I consider the styles to be different, but here I was much more intentional with the movement of the tertiary colors, the purpose of their presence in the background, and how to play and reflect that part of the work against the movement of the figures. Again to create this piece I filled in the background, and the rest of the composition was completed using palette knives. As in earlier pieces, this work includes a happy, scintillating yellow, but rather than being drowned out, it is revealed as the viewer moves closer to the figures. The colors are less muddled in some areas and thickly applied in others, adding to the emotion and movement of the piece. I enjoy making dynamic paintings like this and aim to evoke emotion through the harmonic movements and subtle accented colors.
