Tip Toe Dancing Upon The Earth Hula Dancer Watercolor Art Print

By Alessandra Jann-Jordan at AJJ Arts

Artist’s inspiration:

This painting evokes for me the mystery that is sometimes felt when watching a hula performance -- often, I am admiring the dance without understanding the oli (chant) which the dance is representing. The color choice and moon sliver in this painting are intended to induce a magical feeling of enchantment, and the gold light surrounding the dancer’s head represents the story that is being told, despite my unknowing. I am thinking of how the dancer in my painting is expressing an oli through her graceful movements, as her feet glide, barely touching the ground, while making her crimson skirt twirl to the rhythm of her story.

Print is 8x10”, matted and on archival Watercolor Bright White paper, bagged in clear cellophane bags
