San Francisco Giants
AT&T Park

This is number 8! I finished the home of the San Francisco Giants, AT&T Park. This one is so different from all the others as it has water behind it instead of skyscrapers. I loved working on this one.

PNC Park on the Last Day

Posted in Kickstarter-Painted Diamonds, tagged acrylic, daily painter, daily painting, impressionism, Landscape, MLB, PNC Park, Virginia Artist on May 6, 2013| Leave a Comment »

I worked all this week on PNC Park in Pittsburgh. It has to be one of the best views from a park but all the detail makes it difficult to paint. I am almost finished with it and should finish it up today but I wanted to share it with you as the last few hours of my Kickstarter project wind down. Just to update you on where I am with the project, it appears that no one has ever painted all 30 Ball Parks during one season so I’ll be the first. Woo Hoo! And as of the writing this morning the project has been pledged at 110% so as long as this holds by midnight tonight my project will be funded. Yippee! Please know how much I appreciate everyone who has pledged to support this project. You can’t know how much your encouragement means to this painter. Many, many thanks! PNC is the 5th painting in the series and I will be starting number 6 today.

It’s not too late to be a part of this history making project. Click on this link and pledge to get in on it before midnight tonight. Thanks again!

Step by Step on Wrigley Field

Posted in Kickstarter-Painted Diamonds, tagged acrylic, Chicago Cubs, daily painter, daily painting, impressionism, Landscape, MLB, MLB Ballparks, Virginia Artist, Wrigley Field on April 30, 2013| 1 Comment »

Wrigley Step 1

Wrigley Step 2

Wrigley Step 3

Wrigley Step 4

Wrigley Step 5

Wrigley Step 6

I was asked about the process I use in painting one of the ball fields for my Kickstarter Project – Painted Diamonds. So I tried to take photos while I worked on the painting of the Chicago Cubs Wrigley Field to show you the progress. Sometimes I get so involved that I forget to take a picture but you get the idea.

Wrigley -Step 7

Every artist works differently. I usually start at the top and work in the basic shapes moving toward the subject matter that is closest to the viewer at the end and then go back in to put details. That’s the great thing about painting. There is no right or wrong way as long as the end result makes you happy then you did it just right!

Wrigley is the 4th painting in the series of 30 that I am painting for my Kickstarter Project- Painted Diamonds – where I will be painting every Major League Baseball park before the World Series this year.

Fenway Park is 95% Complete

Fenway Park is 95% done. Each of these paintings is so interesting to work on. I’ve discovered things about them that I never noticed before. And with Boston I wanted to be sure to add the “B Strong” logo somewhere.

Now I am on to Wrigley. The Kickstarter Project has 7 more days to get funded and I’m at 89%. Please take a minute to go to this link and make a pledge to help me reach the goal. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/168684256/painted-diamonds-30-ball-parks-in-30-weeks?ref=city

Thank you!
