Hunter Jumper
Creating dynamic motion for this jumping composition was an unexpected pleasure. It's difficult to see on the web but there's lots of fluid brushwork which is becoming a more focused direction in my work. One "trick" (if you will), for generating tension and movement is to employ lots of opposing diagonals. It sets up a rhythm of pace that the artist can control by speeding or slowing lines.

Another great painting! Wonderful brush strokes and feel, way to go!
Hi Sharon
You accomplished everything you set out to do, and explained it very well. You can see confidence in those strokes too.
Gorgeous painting!
Thanks, fellow bloggers, for your input. It's always a tentative feeling when pushing the envelope a bit...
oh, i REALLY like it...
Andrea, hope the HITS people do too. It's for the summer program cover up by your neck of the woods.
This close up perspective grabs the viewer and makes a powerful statement. I love the boldness and the confidence you portray of a subject you know so well.
As only you can do.
