I wanted to do a piece that had a lot of emotional value for me. I am a ballet dancer but I only dance at home or in class. Recently I have been diagnosed with rhuematoid arthritist which causes sevear pain in my hip. In this piece I wanted convey all the pain it causes me to do something that I love that's so gracefull and beautiful. I tried to get accross the conflict within my heart of wanting to dance and not being phisically able.

end image is in colour at 2266x3450px 300dpi so i basically painted it from scratch did end up taking my own refference photos for finer details ed shoes etc
