Feminine Nouveau

I painted “Feminine Nouveau” in a loose painterly style. The palette is yellow ochre, grey, burnt umber, sienna and a few hints of crimson and blue with extreme highlights and shadows.  The female form in dancing motion is a fluid subject to paint. I tried to keep with this motion by using fast curving loose lines. My attempt here is to show the same form as she moves in a confident and free dancing motion. 
The canvas is stretched over 1.5” stretcher bars with a cross brace. 
Size is 24” X 36”

  1. Beautiful! I see your color palette in the motion of Matisse and the softness of Degas.
