A month or so ago, I took Tyler to "Surf City", Huntington Beach, CA. My son, Jon-Paul Fortunati, is the owner of Critical Paintball and plays on a team as well as sponsoring other teams. This year again, he and his teammates were playing in one of the national competitions on the paintball circuit.
Tyler loves paintball AND his uncle, so I had promised to take him to watch the games and cozy up to the celebrity paintball players. He was enthralled and I had a great day as well!
While he and his friend were "backstage" I wandered through the city and onto the pier and the beach. I was looking for photo opportunities. I took many reference photos of kids chasing back and forth as they played in the surf as well as real surfers.
I used one of my own photos as a reference during Frank Gardner's 6x6 workshop last weekend. It was fun to paint and with Frank's suggestions, to try to get the light right and the lines and shapes leading the eye into the painting. "Big Brother" is the result.
