The Flamenco Dancer
This is 39cm x 55cm. The paper brand is "Roma" hand made by Fabriano in Italy.
I married a year ago and many a times friends asked if I have done any paintings of my wife. Well, with preparations for exhibits, commissions and not having adequate working space, I had not the chance to do a painting of her. Until now. I was rummaging through some of her old photos and found a photo from her flamenco dancing days. This was taken a few years ago a black and white photo not a real good one but it struck me with a vision. With a vision in mind I set out to create what you see here. I asked my wife to pull out the dress and shoes and I set some lights up had her stand at a desirable hight and got to work.
So, now my wife is happy. Our friends will be happy and I have another peace for my next exhibit.
