2 paintings from the spokane ballet studio



3 birds 21x13cm (sold)


ballerina #1
my cousin sara morrison donally choreographed the dance and taught the dancers.  note the size of these paintings, i think they are nearly miniatures and were painted for the most part with spider hair brushes with only a few bristles per brush. i miniaturized my self and worked on scaffolding built by my 5 year old out of legos which are not very comfortable.

    The more I look at these the more interesting they are. The shadows seem to indicate two sources of light, and you signed in Cyrillic.

    spasibo! it didn't start out cyrillic but the proximity to the ballerinas morphed the letters.
