Fancy Dancers
I did this painting in very thick acrylics. I thought of the Fancy Dance competition with all their regalia then decided to use color theory in their dance outfits so the battle is just not in the dance but in the colors.
Fancy Dancers belongs to the following groups:
1 on 1: The Fine Art of Portraiture , Fine Arts, Live, Love, Dream: , Spirit of the Native American, Spiritual Art and Vibrant and Vivid Color Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters
