Australian Open, 2020

SOLD

#357 - Oil - 5”x 7” (12.7x 17.7) Who would have thought that this may be the one and only Open For 2020. So glad I was there!

TENNIS - Australian Open #1

 

#267 - Oil - 6" x 6"

Someone reminded me that I was lucky to be living in a city that loves its sport. How true that is! Between Cricket series, I attended the Tennis Open which is also held in Melbourne. Right next door to the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) in fact.

One thing that was very obvious this tournament was the fluro colours that the players wore. Thank goodness for Phthalo Green!

Thank you for your comments on cameras and photoghraphy.
After your advice I think I will just keep using the same camera.
Sometimes it does get the colours rather close, but with this tennis

On a positive note, painting these figures has been both challenging
and fun.    :-)
