Portrait of a dancer  (Jane)

Jane’s parents kept the commission of this portrait of her, in her dance costume, a secret for months. I was excited to be a surprise visitor to her family home, this Sunday, to deliver the painting. Jane recently participated in the photo shoot for my current project, the Dance Calendar, when her Mum approached me about doing a portrait of Jane (watch this space for news on the calendar!).
Many of us, myself included, have a passion for dance and the painting captures a quiet yet dynamic moment of Jane’s dance expression. A memory to be enjoyed over and over, a celebration of dance!
The portrait is already hanging in its special place in the family home, and now awaits its twin, a portrait of her elder sister who was also a dancer. I’m looking forward to starting on it soon!
