Description
PRIMA BALLERINA is a commissioned watercolor painting of Jane Green Wenstrup, gorgeous and talented Principal Dancer with the Cincinnati Ballet Company who performed many years with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Jane has performed throughout the United States and Europe with the Pennsylvania Ballet Company, Playhouse in the Park, Cincinnati Opera & David McLain Dance Company. Upon retirement, she became Head of the Dance Department at Northern Kentucky University for 30 years. She has two sons, Zachary & Adam who, according to Jane, have no dancing abilities whatsoever (of course, that is only her opinion).
To use as reference for this detailed portrait, I had a forty-year-old low quality brochure photo, a newspaper clipping and an old paper photo of the ballerina's face to work from. With the help of Jane's expert description of technical ballet details, this very challenging painting was a fun project. Thank you so much, dear Jane, for choosing me to paint your portrait commission!
TESTIMONIAL: It is breathtakingly gorgeous!! Thank you so much. I could just cry! With joy of course! You are the best of the best. I will cherish this painting forever! It looks exactly like me back in the day. I can’t stop looking at your painting. It gives me joy & the fondest of memories. Thank you, dearest Hanne. Sincerely, Jane

The composition in this painting is superb, Hanne. I like the way the dancer lightly touches all four sides of the paper.
