Running scene


I've been working on a Seattle marathon image but wasn't getting where I wanted on it so switched to a small, 5" x 12" canvas pad piece and did a fast and loose painting of a crowded cross country race start where I caught the movement and pack with simple colorful strokes. Will have to go back to my Seattle idea and rework it from scratch to get this same feeling into it. Movement is the key to an image of runners and I feel I captured it here.

Hi Dad! Thanks for showing me the paintings in person yesterday. This one especially is a fun one. Good luck with your painting and the blog too.
Love,
