SubscribeSummer Stock: Soccer Game
I played with this photo in Photoshop so it is more about the motions of the soccer game than the individual faces. I was working toward achieving a painterly look. The soccer game was in Johnson Park off River Road in Piscataway next to Highland Park.
In this version I pixelated the photo and then used the history eraser tool to bring the figures back to a clearer image.

Looks like a video game a little – may be because soccer is an odd object to paint – but that gives a whole new field of opportunities
Thought soccer is girl’s sport in the USA – but team USA man is playing against Brazil at the final of the Confederation Cup – so I am wrong again!
The man on the right is a professional soccer coach – I wrote about him last year:

(my son told me the U.S. won an important soccer match last week – I also didn’t know there were U.S. folks so good at soccer)
Very pretty.
Very creative Leora, I wouldn’t have thought to “paint” a soccer game.
you did a great job
I love the field they’re playing on
it’s other worldly
Very cool. With a bit more pixelation it would be quite pointilistic!
I like the effect of the second picture.
You really did catch the motion of it, with the feet up poised to kick.
