As someone who has a strong love and passion for the game of golf and the arts, he wanted to use symbolism to describe how fun, sweet, and a good time the game of golf is. Lennard chose ice cream symbolism because we often experience eating ice cream during good/fun times and great memories. Those are the feelings he usually has when he plays the game.
He pursued playing professional golf for a solid 15 years, but never broke through at making it past numerous qualifying attempts for the PGA Tour or US Open qualifiers. The experiences gained regardless of those many attempts helped shape him as a person and artist. From appreciating great golf course designs and layouts to the hard work and practice it takes to technically and tactically become a professional golfer, he has carried these work ethics and traits into his art designs.
What is your shade-making expertise?
My shade-making expertise is still a work in progress and hopefully, I can continue to learn and get better at recognizing when, where (shading needs to be added), enhanced, and embellished.
What is the major duty of a painter?
I feel like my duties for as a digital painter are to capture and tell the story I’m trying to tell with a proper color scheme, hand, leg, body, and golf club positions of my subjects. I feel like my color scheme should move my audience in a way that inspires them to want to experience the game of golf in some way, shape, or form. Whether it’s virtual reality, actually on a real golf course, playing golf video games, or putt courses only. Whatever they take from it. Hopefully, it inspires them to have a conversation about the great game and take action.
