Blue Dance, Original Painting

2019

Artist Comments
An expressionist portrait of relationships as a dance. Dominant blue palette with hints of red, purple and pink that offers both calm and energy. Body language simultaneously suggests connection and separation, relaxation and a hint of unease. "Relationships can feel like a dance as we navigate the complexities of feelings, thoughts and needs," says Robin. "There can be an even flow or we may notice ourselves stepping on each other's toes or even our own."
