🪶Skateboard Painting a Blue Heron in Oils |

You have seen a lot of horses here lately, but I am also working on a quiet series of skatebirds, er… skateboard birds, in the background. This heron is my favorite so far (of course).
Why skateboards? A couple of reasons, actually. The graphic designer in me loves skate culture and aesthetics. Always has. I even have a few boards-I totally look goofy riding and am sincerely scared of breaking body parts-but loved doing it as a kid with my friend Andy. It offered up the tiniest bit of independence and sparked youthful exhilaration. It also makes me think of him. ❤️
Secondly, I figure skateboarding is similar to taking flight. #wildabandon #freedom #flying
I am happy to have gotten this guy varnished today. I am working toward getting this photographed. I’ve had some interest in this painting. Contact me if you’d like to put a deposit down and reserve it.
