Road Racer


This is a portrait of a ten year old girl as she was about to begin her first motorcycle road race of the day. She was dressed in all pink from her helmet to shirt, pants, boots, and gloves. She was as determined as the predominantly male contestants. While not exactly just circles, there are a lot of circles in this piece. It is destined for the SAQA trunk show in 2014.

I've written a bit more about it on my blog--sylviaweirart.wordpress.com

  1. Sylvia I see circles everywhere. Love it. I really need to get my SAQA piece started.

  3. I would have used a peachy color for her face and added rosy cheeks. To me, the gray looking color make her look old. Love that this young girl is doing what she loves to do.

  4. This piece makes me think of a figure on a playing card, and not of a ten year old in motorcycle gear, though it is a very good face (from someone who can't do faces well at all!) I would like to be able to see it bigger. Good luck at SAQA!

  6. Sylvia, she certainly looks determined and excited. I love the busy background fabrics and you did a wonderful job on the face.
