For our second project, I really wanted to paint something in motion and with depth. Unlike my first painting, I wanted to paint something with more content and story instead of just a pretty landscape. Though I'm very happy with the way my first piece of work looks, it definitely is a stiff piece that doesn't really speak to viewers. And so when I came across these two photos, I was immediately drawn towards them. I have always loved ballet; even though I never was very good at it, I've always enjoyed watching other ballet dancers in action. To me, ballet is something that is really beautiful, but not in a frilly, superficial way. I think that painting the feet in motion be really fun and allow me as a painter to become more relaxed and spontaneous. I really hope that this painting will properly evoke the fluidity and elegance that ballet, in a way, epitomizes!
