Handball

Handball


Acrylic on paper "18 x "24


Growing up, my sister would causally play handball on the side of a daycare in our neighborhood. It was a curved wall. Yes we were silly but we had fun.
This is one the most intense street games in my opinion. Just the speed alone is amazing and trying to hit the small ball against the wall…….Please.
It is usually more than one player but this day, this man was alone and fast.
As soon as the ball ricocheted off the towards his hand, he slapped back to the like a bullet from a gun!
When the ball ricocheted to the left, he swiftly pivoted to left then the ball ricocheted to the right, he pivoted swiftly to the right. I stood there in awe. I noticed also that he wear knee pads. He seemed practicing for a Handball Tournament, I don’t know.
Pure and raw talent for the game or could say,” The passion” for the game.
