Poised: ballerina swan painting red Stylised and expressive acrylic painting

Stylised and expressive acrylic painting of a graceful ballerina in peach and pink colour scheme

Fall in love with Odette and Siegfried in this striking painting inspired by the infamous ballet classic

Poised: ballerina swan painting red Stylised and expressive acrylic paintingDainty ballerina figure painted in white swan tutu poised against a rich purple background with a pop of neon pink. Medium: Original acrylic painting on canvas (varnished) Dimensions: 8 by 10 inches (approx.) Completed: 2019 Artist notes: Having fun with texture and contrast here. I find the neon acrylic colours rather inspiring and while I kept Odette demure, it was fun to do something much more dramatic with the background.
