Laying Ballerina II

Authentication: Accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity • Condition & Fulfillment: Excellent | Studio Direct shipping directly from the studio (Ships in 2–3 business days) About the Work & History 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 signature surface technique for Colleen Ross—the natural ground texture allows the materials to settle organically, enhancing softness, depth, and material honesty. Intentionally offered as a studio study, this original piece presents collectors with an accessible opportunity to acquire a unique figurative work directly from the artist's studio archive.
