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...

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!

Strip Sketches-"Unhooking"

A young epee fencer unhooking from the machine with his mom looking on, there to support him.

Sassy!

Another sketch of a fencer waiting for pools to continue at the 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!

Stripside Sketches-War of the Roses 2009

Recently, I attended the War of the Roses Fencing Tournament held at Countryside Recreation Center in Clearwater, FL. The event took place on Nov 14, 2009 - Nov 15, 2009. Here's some sketches I managed to do while sitting around watching the fencing.

Here are a couple of kids sitting around watching their friend go off to fight.

These two foil fencers are poised for action. Can you till which one will initiate the attack?

This guy was just standing in between strips waiting around. It was a long day. In this sketch, I was really focusing on his legs and stance.

MoVING AGAIN!

That's right! I moving again. My husband graduated from Naval Postgraduate School last Friday. I'm tremendously proud of him! Now we on our way to Tampa, FL. So I might be offline but rest assured I'm still working. I know I promised to devote September to Foil images but with the packing up of my studio and house, dealing with my kids and cats, and moving cross country, I need to push the new Foil images to debut in November 2009.

Rest assured, even on the road and in staying in hotels, I'm still working. I have some choice images for both the upcoming foil and saber paintings. So please stay tuned..and feel free to comment or email me with suggestions of things you would like to see.

Well on to TAMPA, FL...two kids, two cats and a husband! I am looking forward to fencing again in the Sunshine State!
