in motion, 14 1/2 x 57 1/2” oil on portrait linen, as she looked at the end of my painting day today
6/15/25: in motion has transformed over the past week. it began 5 days ago as a horizontal composition with 5 figures who, as the title suggests, were engaged in various dance moves, with a central skateboarder.
two days ago, it became a vertical compositin, with a dancer at the top and various whited over figures below, all in motion.
