This piece is part of my ballerina series. Taken from a vintage photograph of Anna Pawlowa, she is one of my favorites. I wanted this piece to be simple, to showcase the beauty and grace of the dancer. The pose is classic. It helps me, while I’m working on a piece, to imagine the life of the person I am trying to illustrate. Certain vintage images seem to demand my attention, to appeal to me to be recaptured, to remind those who choose to view my work of simple beauty, simpler times. Below is the original.
