A photo often doesn't capture the essence of what we see with our own eyes. One of the reasons I love to paint is to create what it means to me. So I painted the Boatercross race in southern Chile on the Rio Futaleufu at the World Extreme Kayak Championships - www.whitewatergrandprix.com where our daughter Katrina competed. This is BIG water ! Kayaks popped up and down like balls in a pinball machine. Katrina is the red kayak in the lead - she actually won this race; one of five stages held on the chilly waters of Patagonia. "Chaotic fun", is how she described the Class V rapid called "Mas O Menos" .
I entered my painting in the Tribe Rider art contest - look for their symbol embedded in the waves.
