Barrel Racing

Description

I captured this image at our local rodeo but the background was busy with stadium full of people. So I decided to paint the background out in Corel, using strokes and colors that conveyed the movement and tension the girls experienced in the race.

Your choices convey just what you wanted, Kimber, all the fire, tension, and energy of the competition. Just on my way out to a rodeo today, so it's especially nice to see this creative treatment. #1518186

Wonderful painting Kimber. Your color and strokes do imply movement and excitment.

Well done. #10623640
