The Pole Vaulter
Oil on canvas
This painting is of one of my pole vaulting friends while I was a pole vaulter in high school. Usually, people paint people with a straight eye shot perspective, but I wanted to paint the person from a bottom up perspective.
The painting brush stroke evokes some sense of Impressionism, but the colors are pretty straightforward with the background simply shades of white and blue for the sky, and the foreground body has shades of skin tone along with the track uniform in shades of yellow.
The oil painting shows the pole vaulter at beginning position, ready to run down the runway towards the pole vault pit.
This piece is part of the track and field collection I created, which I will post more later.
