I just fancied painting these cricketers.

  1. Hi Vic, Another great painting. I love the composition and the way you captured the players gesture of action and waiting in anticipation of the second player. Well done my friend.
    How is Rosemary, hope the op went well and she is on her way to a wonderful painless recovery. So she can resume her line dancing soon. All the best to you.

  3. Dear Vic,
    Lovely work! Did you enjoy sketching them? I like sketching sports players. BUT only the problem is I forget a game. Look forward to your next.
    Kind regards,

  4. Thank you very much Sadami. yes, I did and I do enjoy sketching people. Strangely enough, I find that I can sketch better with a brush, amazing eh? All the best Sadami.

  5. Hi Joan.
    Thank you my friend for your usual great comment and also about enquiring about Rosemary. The operation didn`t go too well. The fluid started leaking and the op` took about six hours. And now she has got to lay on her back for a least three days incase it leaks again. So at the moment she is very uncomfortable. But she will get better eventually. Thank you and all the best Joan.

  9. Hi Sue.
    Thank you for your nice comment and for asking after Rosemary. She has started to do okay now. Hopefully they are going to start to raise the bed headboard which in turn will gradually lift her head and back. Thanks again Sue and all the best.

  13. excellent victor,
    i like how you reflected the subtle greens into the white of the player,makes them fit in the scene,always hard to do with white,the gestures of the men speak for them selfes
