I've been working off and on these days with figurative pieces in exploration of movement and interaction. The above three panels illustrates the preliminary layering and blocking-in. All imagery is still very loose, but will tighten as the painting progresses. I will also apply a sliver of gold leaf following the skating path. Isn't it amazing of all the contortions skateboarders subject their bodies to, while in flight?
