Thank you so much, guys!!
Believe me, boxing would definitely be something I'd LOVE to paint. I just think I need more of an education with the sport before I can really pick something that would resonate. They're some great photographers from the 50s that took exceptional shots for Sports Illustrated - maybe they'd be good to start looking at.
Either way, I don't know if I'd ever be able to paint something as good as this:
Bellows
never fails. And then there's this guy:
God, I LOVE Rockwell.
NO one told a story like him. Look at that staging! That narrative! That emotion!! The warm, red note on the blonde's flower!! What a monster he was.
Boxing has such a rich, painted tradition. One day I'll crack it.
