Dancing the Blues- Woman Portrait with Charcoal

Dancing the Blues is an original charcoal on cardboard drawing that captures a fleeting, intimate moment of love and longing. With soft, expressive strokes, the artist depicts a woman mid-dance, gently resting in a man’s embrace. Her closed eyes and slight smile speak of trust, tenderness, and vulnerability. Her hand, delicately placed on his shoulder, reflects a quiet, emotional connection — a moment suspended in time.
The man is intentionally left partially undefined, making his presence feel like a memory, a dream, or a symbol of love itself. This contrast brings a sense of emotional mystery and nostalgia to the composition. The monochrome palette deepens the mood, allowing light and shadow to guide the viewer’s eye toward the raw emotion within the scene.
This piece is a tribute to love — to hopes, dreams, and moments that stay with us long after they pass.
