Original oil painting on 91 cm x 61 cm stretched canvas, painted using a knife

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

Prints are now only available via my website, though I do sign them. I have disabled all prints of my artwork on DA in protest as they removed my featured artwork, didn't adhere to their own policies and ignored my communications so I don't see why I should contribute financially with print commissions...

this is great! You've painted the emotions of tango very well... And the shadow in the top and on the floor intensifies this feeling...

come to my gallery [link] once and you will be coming back
They appear to be lost in the sensuality of the moment. The body positions are exquisite. I want to step into the painting and see them complete the dance. Absolutely beautiful image.

Your work is inspiring to say the least.......I can't believe that you used a knife to paint such a realistic look. How long does a piece like this take you?

The kitten quotes: "WHEN can you draw a kitten in a still life? When it's dead - that way it'll hold still."

"They'll be soft as kittens . . . because that's what they're made of!"
Planning and sketching usually takes a couple of hours, then this painting took around 30 hours over a two week period...
