Sassy!

Another sketch of a fencer waiting for pools to continue at the 2009 War of the Roses tournament in Clearwater, FL. I like the pose the girl struck. I think this gesture drawing captures a little of her sassiness!

Strip Sketches-"Unhooking"

A young epee fencer unhooking from the machine with his mom looking on, there to support him.

Stripside Sketches-War of the Roses

Recently, I attended the War of the Roses Fencing Tournament held at Countryside Recreation Center in Clearwater, FL. The event took place on Nov 14, 2009 - Nov 15, 2009. Here's some sketches I managed to do while sitting around watching the fencing.

Here are a couple of kids sitting around watching their friend go off to fight.

These two foil fencers are poised for action. Can you till which one will initiate the attack?

This guy was just standing in between strips waiting around. It was a long day. In this sketch, I was really focusing on his legs and stance.

Moving Again

That's right! I moving again. My husband graduated from Naval Postgraduate School last Friday. I'm tremendously proud of him! Now we on our way to Tampa, FL. So I might be offline but rest assured I'm still working. I know I promised to devote September to Foil images but with the packing up of my studio and house, dealing with my kids and cats, and moving cross country, I need to push the new Foil images to debut in November 2009.

Rest assured, even on the road and in staying in hotels, I'm still working. I have some choice images for both the upcoming foil and saber paintings. So please stay tuned..and feel free to comment or email me with suggestions of things you would like to see.

Well on to TAMPA, FL...two kids, two cats and a husband! I am looking forward to fencing again in the Sunshine State!

Since my baby was born last year, I have finally been able to return to working out with some local fencers in my area (Monterey Peninusula). Whoo HOO!
