Another painting done while at the art show last weekend, this one started out as just a ball. After I painted the ball it looked a bit lonely, so I added the photo. I think it's kinda risky to change your design when the painting's half done, but I thought it would just be fun to throw in a player. (Oops, unintentional pun there!) Anyway this is Dodger pitcher Kershaw, and my hubby informs me he's on our TV pitching as I type this. Weird.

Baseball For A Birthday Boy

The show is over, and I'm exhausted, but above is the highlight of the show for me. When I did get time to paint at the show on Saturday, I painted this as a birthday gift for our 11 year old grandson. He loves baseball, so our daughter snuck away his glove and ball for me. Papa got a Koufax card image off the internet. When he discovered his glove missing, he had an inkling of what might be going on. Even so, he was surprised and loves it. I can't tell you how happy I am that it came out good. I love that kid so much!

Ball & Pocket

A pair of my hubby's jeans plopped down with a beat-up baseball on top. Last night as I contemplated my next painting, he was watching baseball on TV, no doubt adding data to the baseball encyclopedia in his head. Today is his birthday, so we have a little celebratory painting.
No, I did not ask him to take his pants off so I could paint them. Painting texture was the "funnest" part of this one...and finally a painting my hubby really likes.
