Taking a Spin

6x8   Oil on Paper

All of these skaters and many more were on the ice, the challenge was deciding which shapes to include. I really admire that even the tentative skaters are willing to go out on this vast sheet of ice with no walls to grab  onto if the need arose!

What a Ride!

Beautiful winter day, the oval was full of families. What more could you ask for? This baby was snug as a bug for an afternoon skate. 

Speed Skater

This speed skater was amazing, he smoothly navigated around everyone including this babe in sled. I felt that it might be better as a vertical composition so I'll try that today. I did like the little background figures!
