"Cuban Dancer at Rehearsal"

(oil on gessobord; 8"x8")

I painted this from a photo I took in Cuba.  It is a dancer who was sitting on the edge of the stage at a rehearsal I was watching and he was listening intently to the choreographer's instructions.  With all the talk about Cuba opening up, I was reminiscing about my 2013 art trip and started looking through my photos.   It's really difficult to paint figures from life so I am practicing using photos, but my rule is that it has to be from a photo I took myself.
