Drawn May 30, from life.
The model, Jean-Pierre, is also an artist. One of his striking paintings (simplified here) forms the backdrop for Champion.

I like that you added the man's painting into the background.
ReplyDeleteI like that the painting is so huge that it could form a backdrop. Actually, a super cool piece. He has been selling a lot of them.
ReplyDeleteHe's just a little off center, which is good, esp. in a painting full of circles, ovals, etc. Could've been too symmetrical, but you didn't let it.
ReplyDeleteLet me know when I sound as if I know what I'm talking about. But I did read that in photography, you don't want everything perfectly centered or otherwise too symmetrical.
Putting him in front of his own painting is a fine idea. I like this one.
P.S. That little bit of twist in his pose really adds something good--energy? Or merely interest? For me it's both.
ReplyDeleteHi Jean. Circles, spheres,..., is fascinating.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations (again Jean-Pierre)
Banjo, thanks. You kind of, do.
ReplyDeleteI know the shapes aren't technically circles, more like ovoids, but that didn't sound as good to me.
I felt like J-P had added good energy while posing in front of his work.
Thank you, Blanco.
Thank you, Evelin. Your paintings are beautiful.
Gorgeous art work , very modern !
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane. Another reason his painting is represented in this drawing is that I really liked it.
ReplyDeleteLove it-it reminds me of Masai carvings from Kenya
ReplyDeletegosto muito de sua arte, belo trabalho
ReplyDeleteOoo, I like. You've kind of got an Olympic thing going on in the background.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Najma. I see what you mean. J-P Has African ancestry and maybe that influences his painting. I don't know.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Milton.
AH, that's so funny. I didn't see that and it's so obvious when you say it.
ReplyDeleteMystery solved.
Maybe I should re-title this, "Champion."
ReplyDeleteI like the simplified forms. There is something hip yet elegant about them.
ReplyDeleteI like everything about it. Marvelous.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret and Paula. Hip and elegant and marvelous. I like these adjectives.
