“En Pointe” Painting

Once I achieved my soft, pastel colors for the background, I took an old pair of toe shoes (covered in protective plastic), and dipped them in my blue/black oil color that was combined with cold wax. I then made the amorphous marks with the box of the toe shoe that you see throughout the painting. Dance, particularly ballet was an art form I was very passionate about when I was a teenager. The marks are similar to the marks toe shoes make after a dancer dips them in resin to prevent slipping.
