This theme was requested by Jason. Just like many American boys, baseball was an important part of his childhood. For this painting, I set the glove, balls and shoes in front of me and painted from life. I really like painting from life when it is possible. It tends to be more difficult than working from photographs but the results are more lively which makes it worth the effort.
One A Day Challenge
I am participating in an art challenge and exhibition called 50-50-50 at the 20th Street Art Gallery in Sacramento, CA. I am one of 50 artists participating and each of us have to create 50 small (6"x6") works of art over a 50 day period. At the end of the 50 days all 2500 pieces of art will be on display at the gallery. The theme of the paintings that I will create is "Timeless Childhood Memories".
To share what I'm working on, I will post one painting a day for the next 50 days.
