PD Show full truck PD Show 3 PD Show 1 PD Show 2Today is the opening day of the 2013 World Series and the opening day of the Painted Diamonds Art Exhibit.  We hung the show yesterday at the Blue Ridge Arts Council in Front Royal and it looks great!  It was a little strange to see six months of hard work all hanging together there.  I still can’t believe it’s a reality.

Many thanks again to all the Kickstarter backers who made it happen.  Your names are listed here on my blog and on the Kickstarter page.  You made this happen.  My appreciation to each of you for your belief in this project.

The Opening Reception is tonight from 6-8 p,m.  Stop down at the Arts Council at 305 E. Main Street in Front Royal to see the exhibit and have some ball park food.  Have a hot dog or maybe some cracker jacks and say hello.  Hope to see you there.

Baseball 1

This is the best time of the year for some really great baseball.  Even though my Braves lost night before last to the Los Angeles Dodgers I still am having fun watching.  Last night the Boston Red Sox moved on to the playoffs by beating Tampa Bay Rays.  Now we just have to wait to see if Boston will play the Oakland A’s or Detroit Tigers and if L.A. will play Pittsburgh Pirates or St Louis Cardinals.  Who are you cheering for?

If you aren’t watching baseball these days you are really missing out.

 Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers, is number 25 in the series of 30.  And it has a retractable roof.   The left field corner features Bernie’s Dugout, where the Brewers mascot, Bernie Brewer resides.  At the beginning of the game, after every Brewers home run, and if the Brewers win, fireworks go off and Bernie slides down his slide.

Kickstarter At Work The last few weeks I have been feeling a lot of pressure to finish the last few ball park paintings in the Kickstarter Painted Diamonds project.  There are only a few more to go.  What I did this past week was start several and work on parts of each every day.  I find this is more interesting at this point in the project.  Yesterday was spent painting, painting, painting.  And that is the plan for this weekend too!
