Out of the Rough

The scenes that i like to capture in a golf painting, have more to do with the golfer than a particular shot. Portraying an emotion or depicting intensity reads better for me anyway.

This painting is of Tom Stankowski who plays on the canadian tour and others. He sent me a couple of photo references and this was the result. The piece is 9 x 12 and in Oil. it is in the private collection of Mr. Stankowski. I do many commission pieces and if you would like a painting of yourself playing golf please contact me by email at scott@smpalmerart.com

thank you for looking!

Victory

As mentioned in the previous post, my desire with this journey in painting impressions of the game of golf is to capture certain moments. This is one of those moments. My friend, Paul Stankowski, won his first pga tournament back in 1997. He won on an Easter sunday. As he walked up to the green to pull his ball out of the cup, he raised his hat and looked heavenward to honor his Lord and give him glory. I painted this piece with a limited pallet to give it more of a retro feel to it! It is a gift for him and I hope that he has more victories to come!

In The Zone

The great thing about golf is that one moment you are crushing a drive 290...or in my case around 250 down the fairway and the next moment you are pensively considering a putt. The range of emotions and energy required for different shots make this game the total challenge for any player. This painting captures such a moment, where the golfer must now navigate the subtle breaks and slope to finish this hole. There is no thought about the next drive or what the other players are doing. Its all about this moment and to make it count you must have tunnel vision! Hence the title of this 15" x 30" Oil painting.
