| Tennis Ball by Polly Jones |
I know, what an original title! This is a little 6" square commission I did a while ago. It was meant as a present for someone being taken to the U.S. Open, so I didn't want to show it beforehand. At first I had no idea how I could make a picture of a ball interesting. It ended up being a lot of fun. I used the shadows to interplay with the s curves inside the ball; this helped offset the static nature of a circle inside of a square.

Love, love, love this one! The tennis illustrations and references in the print media is great! (I'm twisting and turning the monitor again to see all the nuances, lol)
Thanks! I had fun finding in my stash of papers the tennis related stuff...so glad you're taking the time to see them:) Gotta love the images from the 1960s childrens books.
Just found your blog.....loving your painting style!
Thank you Lucy May! Hope you'll check back. I've hope to get on a better posting schedule.
