The dance

By Maria Kuipers 2018 - 2020
Repainted this canvas several times until it resolved itself. One of the most important aspects I aim for is keeping the paintings fresh and painterly. I do this by constantly standing back to view from a distance which gives a perspective revealing whether it works or not. Then drawing the viewer in closing there is more to see.
