Skateboarder - White Cap

Skateboarder - White Cap
11 x 14   Oils on Masonite panel

This skateboarder is doing one of those "tricks" that totally amaze me. Just think of the falls and slides he endured while perfecting the technique. He isn't wearing any kind of joint (knees or elbow) protection - must be a tough guy!

This painting was taken from a photo reference with many skateboarders doing their thing. As I've said, these skateboard people are amazing.

I see people skateboarding almost every day and doing things that seem to defy gravity. I don't remember where I found the reference photo for this painting. I probably Googled "skateboards".  

Last multi-photo post - probably maybe?

I'm posting 11 (eleven) photos of my paintings today - sorry. I hope to resume posting one or two at a time from now on.  


If you have a PC you can see the photos of the paintings more clearly if you right-click on the photo then choose view in a new window. I dislike the "new" blog method of the slideshow as I can't see the details as we could "before".

 I have the greatest respect and admiration for the people that will put their bodies on a skateboard. And to see the "tricks" that most do is sometimes beyond belief!  

The "canvas paper" that I used is advertised as gessoed canvas sheets in a tablet form. I had to tape the sheets to a large piece of masonite to hold the sheet in place while I painted.

Hey Battah Battah - SWING

The title is a taunt (chatter?) that the opposing team calls out when a batter is in the batters box. Especially if the batter has a tendency to swing on command. :-)
