Two Dancers

Ellen A.

Acrylic Paint and Unstretched Canvas

• Artist Statement

  My piece depicts two young ballerina girls. These two girls are my friend and I. We used to love to dance together in when we lived in Sweden. This painting has a nostalgic and melancholy feeling. I used a green underpainting to emphasize the contrast in the skin, tying into the green ribbon, the only other green in the painting. In addition I expiremented with unstretched canvas with allowed for more flexibility and control.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity to me is the creation of something that you are passionate about and love, putting a lot of thought and character into it.
