About This Piece
Doris the Dancing Bear began as a 15-minute piece, painted on stage while The Dundas Orchestra played. I was able to capture the moment and continue the painting in my studio.
Artist Statement
“Capturing a moment of life, an emotion, a thought…. using a gesture, or an expression, along with colour, light, texture, brushstroke…. Painting a Story”
