"If people stand in a circle long enough, they'll eventually begin to dance." - George Carlin

A vibrant and dynamic artwork depicting a dancing couple and musicians in a stylized geometric style. The couple is shown in a close embrace, showcasing movement and intimacy. Their facial expressions suggest a deep connection and focus on each other.

The musicians, rendered with abstracted forms and minimal detailing, emphasize the act of playing their instruments rather than anatomical precision. The abstract shapes and vibrant colors create a lively and energetic scene and the mix of representational and abstract elements add depth and interest to the composition.

My mixed media paintings consist of acrylic paint and digital collage. They are painted on museum quality archival paper and then laminated to a cradled wood panel, varnished, waxed and then framed in a black floater frame. Each piece begins as a digital study on an iPad where the basic composition and coloring is determined before the hand painted original is started.

This painting is also available as a canvas print
