My new painting idea--Help if you can.
I decided what I want my next Duke art project to be. I want to paint the football team in action. My last Duke project was years ago, I painted lots of images from Duke gardens. I thought I was going to do the quad dorms next, but I wasn't thrilled by any of my photos. I was there on grey days, so not a lot of contrast and light.
But I was thinking all of my paintings are static. Buildings, trees, posed portraits. What would be fun is to catch the football players in motion running plays.
So I emailed David Cutcliffe that I would like permission to be down on the field with a camera taking pictures while they practice. I said I'd remove any Duke logos or identifiers, I'm not looking to make money on the fact that it's Duke.
My guess is my email is going to wind up in his spam box or deleted folder, but if anyone has any connections to the football office or knows Cutcliffe, please let him know this is a serious request. Thanks much in advance.
P.S. Carolina is losing to UVA in WBB. I have no pity.
