Dancer at Dawn

Dancer at Dawn, 2026

Original oil stick painting on gessoed cotton paper, 62.5 x 48 cm

A close figure painting in warm ochre and pale blue, held in the first quiet pressure of light.

About the work

The torso fills the surface, painted in warm brown, ochre, cream and muted blue.
The cropped composition brings the body close, while the raised arm and soft surrounding marks suggest movement caught before it fully opens.

In Dancer at Dawn, the figure feels both grounded and transitional.
The work holds the body in a moment of early light — intimate, physical and unfinished, as if presence is still arriving.

Direct painting from life model in a single short sitting to preserve freshness.
