This is an ACEO, an acronym which stands for Art Cards, Editions and Originals and denote small pieces of artwork 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches in size, I began late Sunday night and completed Monday. It's a homage to contemporary Tribal Fusion belly dancers and to the Orientalist trends in art over the past few centuries, particularly in Art Nouveau style pieces and in the art of people like Erté.
I really enjoy the theme and hope to explore it a bit further in future ACEOs. I don't think this is my best work, but I wanted to show that I am in fact still alive and making artwork! While this particular piece has been purchased, I do have other bellydance-related ACEOs in progress.
