Wow, I am simply enchanted by the overall composition of this masterpiece. I love the glare the ballerina has, there is a mix of elegance, concentration and determination through her gentle eyes. I love strokes of the clothing, you can sense with your eyes the texture of the leotard and skirt. I can see the silk-like texture in those superb colour blends and shades especially in torso area. I love how the background strongly reminds me a galaxy or a starry sky instead of the interior of a theatre, because the combination of lights, dark areas and colour choice give me this feeling and I love it since it allows to make Princess Odette stand out superbly.

I suppose it's Princess Odette judging by the attire and wings not to mention the title of the work, but I could be wrong. Anyway I am impressed how this work speaks elegance from the character and excellent artistic skill from you. I like to think this is Act two, Scène. Moderato, where she meets for the first time Siegfried, in fact I can sense a bit of fear in her eyes, especially on the left eye and the slightly frowned left eyebrow but maybe it's just me.

I also like to image that the ballet dancer is a talented Russian dancer who trained herself extensively in one of the two main methods adopted in Russia the Vaganova method and the Legat Method. I love how this work is letting my mind to brainstorm.

Asides from the theme of the work, she also reminds me of an angelic figure, an entity of light descending on earth. I could admire this gem hours and hours, you did an astonishing work!

I'm glad you liked this piece!
This is the revised version of my old work(you can find it in my gallery if you want) and I thought it was a perfect choice to paint over since the former design lacked the vibes that Odette has, which I didn't like.
Your appreciation really inspires me. Thanks for the compliment :D

Amazing! Love the shading and colors, very pleasing :D
