Original oil on stretched 120cm x 60cm canvas, produced in cooperation with Marc Haegeman (Thanks Marc)

Mariinski Theatre's Kirov Ballet, her ethereal figure and outstretched arm, reaches with a sense of sadness, seduced by death, searching for the impending doom as the woman in white in her emotive rendition of Balanchine's gripping La Valse, one of his most innovative and vibrant ballets...

Both the ballerina and the plain black background are painted entirely with a knife. A high level of contrast is provided.

There's many more figurative, dance and portrait fine art original oil paintings, pastels and signed gicleé prints on my website: R Young Art

Re-uploaded and made available as prints following requests.

And I'm afraid for the world to see me, cause I don't think they'd...
UNDERSTAND.

Someday you'll sing it out LOUD!
One day this will make you PROUD!

Thx Anna. I don't seem to get many visitors to my gallery for some reason. Not to worry...
