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.

    It just jumps out at you. A battle of colours between the two dancers.
    Cool to warm at the same time. Great painting.
