One-handed Frog

Not many people know that jumping rope is an international sport. My older daughter started competitive jump rope when she was in elementary school. Today's painting is from a photograph of her at age 11 performing a trick called the "One-handed Frog"  at the Nationals competition. Her goal is to become a All-Star. I think she is well on her way towards that goal.

See what competitive jump rope looks like by viewing this VIDEO.

  1. I didn't know, at that video is really impressive!
    And so is your painting - there's so much energy and movement in there, it really is a fitting 'portrait' of this sport!
