Description:
Picture yourself alone in the Middle East, sat on the sand at night, with a beautiful female belly dancer performing for you, her private audience. A solitary 'Desert Dancer'.
Both the Arabic bellydancer and the non distracting, plain background are painted entirely with a knife. A high level of contrast is provided and the colours made extremely rich, bold and lustrous, thus creating a very contemporary feel overall.
It's a very large, very dramatic, emotive, moody and atmospheric figurative painting with a Middle Eastern flavour, that would not look out of place as a feature in a lounge, study, office, music room, conservatory, bedroom, hall, landing or similar room and be a focal point to be proud of.
This painting will be supplied framed in a heavy, high quality Arqadia frame. Contact me for details.
Contact myself for more information about this beautiful work of art, or if you would like to purchase it. Obviously, the quality of the original painting and prints is much better than displayed here, though if you wish to make a closer inspection, please let me know of any specific area you're interested in and I'll e mail a higher resolution image to you.
