Here are five of the “Painted Diamonds” ball park paintings that were recently being varnished and prepared for framing. (You can see that Mamie was helping me!) Once the paintings are completed I give them some time to dry thoroughly and then I went back over them, touching up any areas that I felt needed a little more work, signed them, varnished them, and put them in frames. This all in preparation for the exhibit that will be held from October 23 – November 8 at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. The Opening Reception will be Wednesday, October 23rd from 6 – 8 pm. Please mark your calendar and plan to attend. It will be a fun evening with a baseball theme (of course). I’ll post more about it as the plans are finalized.

My Kickstarter Project Has Launched – Yikes!

Posted in daily painter, Kickstarter-Painted Diamonds, tagged acrylic, Baseball fields, daily painter, daily painting, Kickstarter-Painted Diamonds, Major League Baseball, Virginia Artist on April 3, 2013| 2 Comments »

I am so excited and so scared at the same time. I launched a Kickstarter project last night so the clock is ticking to make it work. My project is “Painted Diamonds – 30 Ball Parks in 30 Weeks“. I plan to paint every major league ball park between now and the World Series. You can click here to see the project.
If you are new to Kickstarter take a look. They promote their site as a new way to fund creativity. They only accept creative projects. An artist lays out the project, writes it up and submits it for approval. If approved, it launches on the Kickstarter website for the world to see and hopefully to fund.
Funding is all or nothing. If the project doesn’t reach its goal then no money is exchanged. And for whatever amount is pledged a reward is offered.
It sounds confusing but it really is not. Please take a look. I’m asking all my friends and followers to please share this post with your friends. The more people who see it the better chance I have of making it happen. I’ll be updating you as the month goes on. I’ll try not to bore you with it but I want to keep you posted on my progress.
So here we go. I have a month to get the word out. Thanks for your help and consideration.
