"Tennis Court"
This original painting is currently on display at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans. This art exhibition runs through January 2023. The painting is owned by a private collector and is gracious on loan for this exhibition.
The painting features three girls having completed their tennis matches. The middle girl has won a trophy.
One after school activity I was in for many years was tennis. In my childhood, tennis camps like these would have a program at the end of the season to have all the kids compete for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place and receive small shelf trophies. In this painting I wanted to highlight the importance of the trophy as a kid, it felt bigger and more rewarding. I wanted all the imagery to be fuzzy like remembering a memory because thats all I can do it remember the last time I remembered.
This piece is created by Susan Havens-Morris. The Life Series is based on moments, events, and things from Susan's childhood during the 70's and 80's.

Tennis is a true inspiration for me! From playing to watching. But while recently researching my old tennis shoes... Dunlop Green Flashes. I realized an extrodiary woman who wore them well before me. Christine Truman played Wimbledon Ladies Singles in 1957. She did win a grand slam at French Open in 1959
This is an excerpt from The Guardian (my research source) I cried after I read this...
Truman was the fifth of six tennis-playing children. She played mixed doubles at Wimbledon with her brother Humphrey, and her sister Nell was runner-up in the French Open doubles in 1972. Truman had to fight hard to get court time. At nine years old, her first tennis lesson was given to her after an older sister, Isabel, fell sick. “I was so happy,” she laughs.
In those days, there was no agent and no expectation of remuneration. When a BBC producer rang their home to ask if Christine would appear in the panel game Children’s Hour, hosted by Richard Dimbleby, for £3 and 10 shillings, her mother misunderstood the offer: “Certainly not! We cannot afford that sort of money for Christine to appear on television.” For sponsorship, Slazenger agreed to supply Christine with two rackets a year, and Dunlop provided two pairs of Green Flash tennis shoes.
Truman made her Wimbledon debut in 1957 at age 16 and reached the semi-finals, where she lost to Althea Gibson.
Now that is an inspiration!

"Win or Lose"
The painting features 2 girls having completed a tennis match. One Girl has many not returned tennis balls on her side, while the other has far fewer. It's about a sportsman ship, there with always be someone better than you, the only thing you can do is be happy for that person. There are many winners and losers in life, but not everything is a competition. The balls enthuse the number of tries one takes in life, not necessarily all being failures, but the attempts at things.
