In my ‘painting speed’ challenge, I’ve done a second snow sport painting – this time snowboarding. I debated long and hard about the colours in this painting. Although my first instinct was to make the snow boarder stand out more by giving him garments in a contrasting colour to the snow and the sky. But in the end, I stuck with the blues and I’m pleased I have. It makes him seem more at one with his surroundings.
This painting is the Day 16 one for the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge
What have I tried to capture in this Snow Sport Painting?
- Speed
- Liberation
- Agility, and
- Fun – possibly almost as much fun as I had painting it.
I’ll soon be putting together one of my infrequent email newsletters to let my mailing list members know about all my exhibition plans for the year. If you want an early alert and invitations to each of my private viewing evenings, please sign up for my email newsletter using the form on the right hand side of my website.
I can feel the cold! Wonderful painting and color choices.
Thank you Pamela. The speed theme is proving quite enjoyable to paint.
Wow Vandy, this is really great! I love the shadows on the snow, and the spray. So cool and crisp… makes me think of a peppermint patty.
The shadows were the most interesting part in some respects. They really made the snow stand out as crisp and white.
