Slalom Summers - *SOLD



Slalom Summers is a commissioned piece. One of my favorite customers, at my gallery Peculiar Painter, commented on my painting titled Lean into it saying, "I want this painting but of a woman in a bikini and she should be leaning into it the spray more, like my daughter does." She told me about her daughter's beautiful and skillful waterskiing and later brought me a photo of her skiing. She is indeed a graceful, strong and beautiful skier. We decided on a size which was a little smaller than my first painting. The final piece is 36" x 36" acrylic painting on stretched canvas. This was a lot of fun to paint. I enjoy working with a vision someone has for a piece. This one required many many layers and I am happy with the final piece. In fact...I'm not sure I want to let it go.

Lean Into It *SOLD

"Lean Into It" is a large 48" x 36" acrylic painting on stretched canvas. I have had this painting in my mind for a long time. A friend once described the pure joy of leaning into a slalom spray and this is what I pictured. The skier is silhouetted except for a few highlights to make him feel like the sun is going down in the background. He is out for a refreshing evening ski on a calm lake. Can you imagine the smile. 

This would be a fun piece to hang over the mantle and remind you of the warm summer evenings playing on the lake.
