Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO) Hispanic, Latin American, Latino, Chicano. 20″ height x 16″ width. Oil wash on canvasette paper. Pictured with framing for sizing perspective only. This is an original oil wash painting on canvasette by American artist Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO). The work is 20″ high by 16″ wide. The subject is a full-length female portrait of a young ballet dancer. She is standing perpendicular to the viewer and bent over from her hips, reaching into her ballet bag on the floor. The young ballerina wears pink tights with scruffy legwarmers gathered around her ankles and a blue leotard with spaghetti straps. Her long hair, tied at the nape of her neck, is a bright auburn. The work is painted in oil washes with light, loose brushwork. The palette is somewhat muted in pastel pinks, yellows and grays with the blue and orange highlights. The work is aptly titled Preparation. It is in excellent condition and signed front lower center right by the artist. The image of work framed is for sizing perspective only. De La Cruz has been a full-time professional fine artist since 1975.
