WHITE MAGIC |
|
|
|
DOWNHILL SKIING - ACTION SPORTS ART
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The thrill of shooting through untouched powder over a pristine mountain ridge gives you a definite feeling of exhilaration and
freedom. It produces an irrefutable adrenaline rush and the knowledge that if you can survive this jump you can conquer the mountain and the world. This is the moment, the feeling of magic that I have tried to convey in this watercolor painting of an
anonymous skier." |
|
|
|
|
WHITE MAGIC and WHISPERING TRACKS were reproduced as art cards and have been used as official Christmas cards of The Canadian Olympic
Association. |

WHISPERING TRACKS |

|
|
CROSS COUNTRY SKIING - ACTION SPORTS ART
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The crisp silence of a frosty morning puts you in awe of the spectacle and instantly arouses the feeling that you are glad to be alive
and thankful to be able to experience this moment. This is freedom. You hesitate to break the silence but the attraction is too great. You begin to glide; your arms swing up and push back; you get into a cross-country rhythm, laying tracks to the sound
of whispering snow." |

COMPETITIVE EDGE |
|
|
|
SLALOM SKI RACING - ACTION SPORTS ART
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The triple challenge of man against man, man against the elements and man against himself trying to beat a personal record, is offered
in Alpine (or downhill) competitive skiing action. To be victorious in Olympic Super-G and slalom racing is the ultimate goal. The focus in this watercolour painting is on the fervent skier as he carves the mountain with his edges to make tight turns -
every 1/100th of a second counts." |

|
|
|
AERIAL JUMPS - ACTION SPORTS ART
|
|
|
|
|
|
"There are two main disciplines of Freestyle Skiing: tricks and moguls. Aerialists ski off snow jumps that propel the athletes up to 65
ft. in the air where they perform multiple flips and twists like 'the Daffy', 'the heli' and triple back flips before landing. Aerial skiing requires agility, creativity, skill and above all courage. With controled splashes of watercolor, as far as the
athlete is in control of his jump, I have attempted to capture in this painting the excitement and adrenaline rush felt by the skier during an aerial maneuver." |
