Return of the Ballerina

I really butchered this attempt at a painting and wanted to come back to it (for a year now). Whenever I looked at it I kept envisioning an impressionistic touch. I had some leftover paint on my pallet and figured what the heck. I have never attempted anything of an impressionistic style so here goes my experiment. It also marks a first for a painting with a human figure in it.
This is where I left off.

This is where I'm at now.

 I will let it dry for now before attempting to color in the ballerina. That I will try to keep of a realism style. Should be interesting as well as a challenge to say the least.
