Tired Dancers These large format works in muted colors depict a series of young women in repose, alone, in deep thought, and apparently newly arrived from a party or ball, or some performance. Their countenance is thoughtful, weary sometimes, but not mournful. The paintings capture the intimate moment of pause and introspection that might come after reckless, frenzied activity and partying and perhaps also the calm just before the next bout of indulgence and celebration.
