Comments by the artist

I was inspired after looking at some beautiful artwork by Selina Fenech so I painted this picture of a dancing girl.

There are a few things that I'm not quite happy with but I'm never completely happy about any of my work. I was trying to capture a nice sense of movement and grace and I think I achieved that. For me it feels as if she is about to twirl around at any moment.

I used white gouache for highlights but they didn't come up in this scan. The watercolour paper was perhaps too light.
