Ballet Dancer #1 (2021)Watercolour by Darren Carey

Original painting: Ballet Dancer #1

From some of my older work 2021

A graceful ballerina dances under a single, warm spotlight that pierces the darkness around her. She wears a flowing red dress that swirls with her movement, its vibrant tones contrasting beautifully against the deep black background. The watercolor medium gives the piece a soft, ethereal quality — the edges of her form gently blend into the surrounding shadows, evoking motion and emotion. Light reflects subtly on her poised face and outstretched arms, capturing both strength and elegance. The red of her dress seems almost luminous, symbolizing passion and vitality amid the subdued atmosphere.
