The ballerina. Oil on canvas. 2016 ‘private collection’ Inspired by Edgar Degas. Degas especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers. Although Degas is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, he rejected the term, preferring to be called a realist and did not paint outdoors as many Impressionists did. #mccstudio #edgardegas #mccblue #ballerina
