When the Fencing Over, I'm be Painting...

I don't plan to lose today. But like I mentioned in an earlier post, this is my first tournament in two years...after injury and a pregnancy.....I'm fencing with a new club (Tampa Fencing Academy) and training with a new coach...

So in any case....if I stop winning...I'll whip out the ole sketchbook and start drawing and painting......like this.....I love my moleskin watercolor sketchbook!

"I'm A Fencer, So You Must Love Me!

This guy's body language says it all. That's what I call presence!



Well on side note...I'm off to a fencing tournament in Jacksonville,Fl this Saturday. It's my first tourney in two years. Wish me luck!

"Three Different Kinds of Boys"-Watercolor Study

The fencer, the slacker and the friend.......


Which are you?

Waiting For the Next Round!

We've all been there...at a tournament without enough directors. It's hard to maintain focus, especially when you can socialize with your friends and family. But the fencers that get the medals at the end are the ones who do it best....! LOL!

Good Luck My Friend!

I retooled a previous sketch. I like this one better. Those guys sitting watch their friend go off alone to do battle....well sort of...

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!
