Dancing queen of ballet

Acrylic painting , Original Artwork of “ Dancing queen of ballet “by Moira Briel

This artwork was painted with a acrylic pallet on a stretched canvas 60cm x 45.50 cm with a depth of 1.5 cm on a acrylic canvas and a protective coat of (gloss) varnish has been applied to seal the acrylic paints and ensure the work stays looking its best for a life time

This ballerina is stunning in her white and blue flowing see - through ballet dress with her pink satin pointe ballet pumps dancing the night away. I enjoyed painting her. She dances with perfection and gracefulness and her pose is strong and graceful. It always amazing to see a ballet dancer perform as they train so hard and for many years to achieve becoming a great dancer. I gave her a black and red background as she is dancing outside and her dress is very transparent and falls softly around her, a hard thing to achieve to make the dress look this way.. The blue and white dress stands out against the dark background and hugs her body. The light shines on her face and arms and part of her lower leg as she dances which is captivating. A painting not to miss

I am an Australian based wildlife artist with 30 years of experience.

I was born in Zimbabwe and started my art career by studying under professional artists such as wildlife artist Francis Stoki in Zimbabwe and Donald Waters in Queensland Australia . I worked for a taxidermy in Zimbabwe for two years painting wildlife on a large scale for export overseas. One of my paintings sold to the governor of Beirut and the other to the vice president of Zimbabwe at the time.

I left Zimbabwe 17 years ago and now reside in Perth Western Australia. After retiring I finally have the opportunity to paint full time in my studio , something I always wanted to do.

I enjoy painting wildlife the most coming from Africa I find nothing better then capturing the beauty of wild animals in their natural habitat. I paint in acrylics mostly but have done charcoal drawings and soft pastel drawing as well and a bit of water colour and graphic pencils. I have worked in oils before but find acrylics dry a lot faster. I paint realism mostly but of late have switched to a bit of abstract painting which is fun bringing out the stories it tells. I have also done underwater scenes where I can follow the swirls and patterns of the water creating movement and patterns which are pleasing to the eye. I paint flowers, animals, underwater scenes, abstract,realism, still life, marine life, beach life, sea scapes and birds just to name a few , so keep an eye open for something different as i intend to give you just that
