Interpretation of Dance: a painting
Posted by Dheeraj Kattula on October 30, 2011
Title:Interpretation of Dance
Watercolour on Handmade paper
29.10.2011
Original size: 30 X 37 cm
Few days ago I saw dance performance of one of my patients. In our case conference I shared my psychodynamic explanations for different aspects of dance that I had witnessed. A friend of mine joked I could write a book ‘Interpretation of Dance’ like the classic ‘ Interpretation of Dreams’ by Sigmund Freud! I got the title for a painting. Of course I am very far from writing anything academic.
By the way the painting has nothing to do with my patients

The original is found in this post.It was too bright even in natural shadow areas. There were problems in highlights. So I worked on it for some more time.I still am not fully satisfied but I fear spoiling it by overworking on it, as it usually happens in water colours.So we have the version 1.1 today
