Sky High Skier Painting
Mogul skiing is a type of freestyle skiing where skiers perform tricks, jumps and incredible turns while remaining in the fall line (an imaginary line that combines the steepest pitch and most direct line, from top to bottom, of any slope). Skiers absorb the impact of the bumps by bending at the knees and hips. In Olympic competition, mogul skiers ski down a mountain through and over a field of moguls taking air twice on the way down. They are judged on technique, speed, quality and difficulty of their two aerial maneuvers.
This is one of two commissioned paintings of beautiful talented athlete, Avital Carroll (née Shimko), an Austrian and former American mogul skier. I was sent a number of photos to use as reference for the details of the skier for this watercolor painting. The background is completely from my imagination. The photo that this painting was based on, was actually a summer photo of Avi doing a practice jump wearing a halter top in the hot summer sun.
In this watercolor painting, I tried to express the enthusiasm, the passion, the energy of the skier by creating the appearance of movement and spontaneity in the wild watercolor splashes of the flying snow background. My watercolor technique was instinctive, impulsive, free-spirited in my attempt to create a vivacious watercolor painting that mirrors the power and emotion experienced by the skier.

AVI-ator seemed an appropriate title for my digital manipulation of a photo of my original watercolor painting (Sky High Skier- top image) of famous mogul skier, Avital Caroll (née Shimko). Based on one of two commissioned paintings of this beautiful talented athlete, an Austrian and former American mogul skier on the Austrian Olympic team, I used a digital manipulation program to add the exciting vectors that trace Avi's aerial movements and suggest the air currents surrounding this amazing skier in flight.
