More Painting photos

The young admirer (oil on canvas)

I did a stage design for the Archedian Theatre and I loved the commotion and the atmosphere behind the stage.  This painting is a portrait and figurative at the same time.  The focal point is the two ballet dancers in the front of the picture.  The figures on the stage allow the viewer to see further than then the focal point.  This, together with the interplay of light and shadow, will convey the mood in the painting.
