"Into the Light"

The name of this painting is “Into the Light.” My sister is one of the ballerinas, so the scene that I painted this from is special to me. I was inspired by the way that the ballerinas moved into the light on the dance floor. As young dancers, their movements are somewhat furtive and meek, but this only adds to their grace. They are still learning to have confidence in themselves. The crowns they wear on their heads symbolize the queenly poise that they are developing as they grow through the epochs of their lives. I hope that you find your own meaning in my work; each set of eyes that considers a work of art holds a world of insight. 
Wishing you all the best, 
Tehya
 
Details:
While the original painting has been sold, here is some additional information about the original and print reproductions (which are always available):
 
Original painting:
The size of the artwork is 8 x 10 inches. I also package my original paintings with a 11" x 14" framing mat so that they are ready to be framed upon arrival. I painted this piece by hand using professional watercolor paints on archival watercolor paper. The artwork is signed with my name and the year that I painted it. 
 
Print reproduction:
My matte prints measure 8 x 10 inches. They are giclée (high-quality inkjet printing) prints on fine art paper. Prints do not come with framing mats. I sign every print by hand with archival-quality ink.
