Lawn Bowlers

This is a painting I did for the annual Square Foot show at the AWOL Gallery in Toronto, which takes place August 5-21. Dashed down to the gallery today and made the deadline. Whew! I guess I am not the only last minute Nellie - the rules specify the painting must be dry!! All entries in the show are 12 x 12". Apparently it is very popular and I think there are about 500 paintings on display. I will be going to the opening on the 6th!

I really like the long shadows of the early summer evening, and the motion of the two bowlers. Quite a change from dogs!

    Wonderful painting. I just love the shadows too! The motion you have captured is right on and held me in the painting to see what they are doing. Smart painting:) Love the greens:)

    This is terrific! Excellent composition, beautiful greens and wonderful, long shadows make this painting really sing. Also, I love the postures here. You have managed to convey the motion, but also the weight of the ball. Well done!
