Ballerina3

This painting is inspired by on line pics. The main subject is a girl wearing a pink ballet costume consisting of a leotard with puff sleeves and a layered, voluminous tutu. Her posture suggests she is performing an arabesque, with her right leg extended behind her and her body slightly turned to the side, her head tilted downwards and to the left, with her eyes closed or looking down. Her left arm is extended forward and slightly to the side, while her right arm is extended backward and slightly upwards, mirroring the lines of her legs. She is en pointe, with ballet slippers on her feet.

The background is abstract and softly rendered with watercolor washes. Broad strokes of pastel colors radiate outwards from behind the ballerina, creating a sense of light and movement. Predominant colors in the background include pale yellow, soft pinks, and light blues, transitioning into lighter tones towards the top and sides. The floor area beneath the ballerina is depicted with washes of purple and pink, suggesting a stage floor with subtle lighting. It is nice hanging in the bedroom or living room area.

Born in China, I arrived in Australia in 1989 and have been living on the Gold Coast, Queensland since 1992. I have always had a passion for international travel and taking photos to keep as wonderful memories of my life. My interest in photography inspired me to take up painting as a challenge in creating my own images of my memories and what I see through my own eyes (not a camera lens). This lead me to becoming an artist and I 🎑attended all the different classes , workshops and courses to improve my painting skills & technics to a higher level. Subsequently, I joined the Royal Queensland Arts Society at Broadbeach to continue my advancement,

The principle theme of my work is mainly landscaping, I have found oil and acrylic as the medium that best suits my passion for landscaping, portraits of animals and people. My sales have included animal portraits, commission works from friends and family. Other sales have been through Bluethumb and the Royal Queensland Art Gallery at Broadbeach on the Gold Coast. I have fortunate to have sales locally, interstate and internationally.

In the future, I love to produce more arts from the nature, animals and people for art lover, friends and families. And join more workshops , learn from the different artists, enter more art prizes.

Available on commission for kids, animals portraits.
