Laying Ballerina II
Mixed media on canvas · 32 × 22 in · 2025
Original Mixed Media on Raw Canvas
Contemporary
This expressive figurative study depicts a reclining ballerina, her white tutu softly framing the figure. Loose graphite marks and gestural acrylic brushwork create a sense of quiet movement and immediacy, balancing grace with vulnerability.
Painted in a modern palette of lime, blush pink, warm brown, and cream, the composition feels both intimate and contemporary. Executed on the raw, unprimed side of a reused canvas—a surface Colleen Ross is known for—the natural texture allows the materials to settle organically, enhancing softness and depth.
This work embraces material honesty and restraint, capturing a moment of stillness and reflection within the human figure.
