On The Cusp

'On the Cusp' is a 18x24 mixed media painting.

Step into a whimsical world where elegance pirouettes through every brushstroke! Titled "On the Cusp," this charming piece measures 18x24 and is a dazzling display of mixed media magic. Picture a graceful ballerina, poised delicately on one toe with her arms stretching upwards and outwards, as if reaching for the stars. Her silhouette, starkly outlined in white against a backdrop of deep, dark hues, creates a striking contrast that draws you right in. Hints of blue and red accents subtly grace her tutu, adding a dash of colorful flair.
But wait, there's more! The background swirls with lively text and abstract patterns in shades of blue, purple, and white—a delightful dance of colors that adds depth and intrigue. As if lifted by the ethereal atmosphere, three blue butterflies flutter overhead, infusing the scene with a touch of delicate flight and freedom. This artwork masterfully conveys movement, grace, and a sense of otherworldly beauty.

The creation of this piece holds a special place in the artist's heart. Inspired by a longing for live entertainment during the pandemic, it reflects a career rich in the arts, particularly as a Stage Manager pre-Covid. The unique mark-making technique used is a clever nod to the shorthand notes taken by Stage Managers, infusing the piece with personal history and professional flair. This artwork doesn't just capture a moment; it encapsulates the essence of a world the artist deeply cherishes and misses. Who knew notes could swirl so magically on canvas?
