Lively and expressive figure painting of Riley, a child, dancing.

Reference photos were captured from video of Riley's free-form fast paced interpretive dance. Riley seems to dissolve into the music and enter a dreamlike state when she dances.

Paula O'Brien accepts commisions for expressive portrait paintings, dance paintings and other figurative art.
