Old Hollywood Glamour to Classical Ballet...Inspiration is Everywhere!

 


"Love You" available here


I am inspired by romance and old Hollywood black and white photos are full of that. This is inspired by Jean Harlow. There's a little message in there for you!

This is a 24x24 inch acrylic on canvas. We attended the Nutcracker Ballet at the Segerstrom, in Costa Mesa. It was so nice to dress up and get a little culture. I took this photo with my phone and thought I was being very discreet until someone tapped me on the shoulder. She said please don't. When the lights came on I tried to explain the I'm an artist and I really want to paint this. She didn't care. I saw other people doing the same (no flash, of course) Anyway, it was funny...but I really couldn't help it! I was compelled to snap these photos to paint the beauty I was feeling. I thought about how other artists would go about painting the ballet. It's not possible to set up my easel and paint in the dark. 


I think I will be doing at least one more of these. There's something so much fun about painting figures.
