DANCING
WITH COLOR
Acrylic on Canvas 2004
30" x 40"
"With
this painting, I wanted to translate the vibrancy
of Mexican Folkloric dancing into color. The splash
effect of the paint gives the dancer’s dress the feeling
of movement. The head and arms appear stationary and
poised as the flurry of color and motion swirls around
her. I used white highlights to simulate light reflecting
off the dress."
