Keeping Her Eye on the Ball Rio182
I wanted to take on this image because I wasn't at all sure I could do it. A big part of this project of painting the Olympics has been an exercise in drawing the figure, an act that comprises almost all of my artwork. See what else I have done as you browse my website. This is the ball routine of the leader of the Olympic Rhythmic Gymnastics competition after the first two events. Ganna Rizatdinova (Ukraine) chose to have the color of her ball make a nice chromatic contrast to her costume.
