Rodeo Surfin'11x14, oil on panel

The great portrait artist Chris Saper is an idol of mine and I used her color theory for these boys. The challenge was their widely varied skin tones and I really wanted to describe them (and their difference) well. If you could see the painting in person -- it truly glows. I was honored to have a valued collector visit the studio this week and bring friends and commissions - Yippee!

This is really a painting that captures the beach in a fun way! You did a wonderful job in their skin tones and figure gestures. The reflections are good, too. I love it and wish I could see it in person.
very nice-like the light on the surfer's backs and shoulder-water looks wetttttt
Great job, Mitzi. Both the figures and the reflections in the water are excellent. And big, too! Very nice.
