Florescent Dancer

After college I didn’t return to the dancing theme until I made this painting around 1993. I bought some florescent and iridescent paints at the art supply store after seeing a demonstration using iridescent paints. I thought the paints would work well with my dancing theme. One problem I ran into was that the iridescent colors need dark colors to be visible. When my fellow artists saw my painting they were very intrigued. They told me it looked like
a mummy.

Dance Energy

This is a piece I painted in the fall of 1985. It was a follow up to “Electric Dancer.”

In early 1987 the piece went missing from my studio at Mississippi State. I only have a slide of the piece.
