Tango Dancers

Backing is a prepared canvas with zinc white pastel then sprayed with Tacky Spray followed by layers of medium yellow and orange as background. The figures wire done with medium and hard pastels and pastel pencil. As with most of my pieces i am intrigued with bodies in motion. I feel that Pastels are stereotyped as pretty pastural or still life themes too often. I am trying to explore the horizons for this wonderful medium. I am also in the past guilty of making my own pastel when I lived in other Countries.
