Step 1 – The Sketch

Step 3 – Middle Ground
Step 4 – Foreground
Last Saturday we had the Festival of Leaves in downtown Front Royal. Even though it was a rainy day we had people coming by Delilah’s to see all the new work we have by the wonderful artists who are there. I set up outside in a tent and started a new vineyard painting. Here is the start of it.

Yankee Stadium
New York Yankees
I finished the last ball park painting in the series of 30 last night about 10 pm while watching a great ball game on TV. This wrapped up a 6 month project and I have to say I felt relief to get it done. Now to prepare for the exhibit and the opening reception on October 23rd from 6-8 pm at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. Please plan to attend and see all the paintings.
This is the final MLB painting in the series: Yankee Stadium – home of the New York Yankees, winner of 27 World Series.

I’ve been working on a few vineyard paintings in between painting Baseball Parks to prepare a few pieces for a new winery, Winding Road Cellars, that will be hanging my work. Here is one I just finished.

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.

Last Thursday and Friday while working at Delilah’s I painted on the front porch. I love painting outside on beautiful days and Thursday and Friday were lovely. And it’s fun to talk to all the people who come by and stop to see what I am doing. I took several photos while I worked so you can see the progress of this painting. Virginia Vineyard View is an acrylic on canvas measuring 16″x20″ and will be available at Winding Road Cellars soon. (UPDATE: This painting SOLD…even before it made it to the winery. WooHoo!)

Safeco Field
Seattle Mariners
Safeco Field, home of the Seattle Mariner’s, is another of the domed baseball fields but Safeco has a retractable roof that when closed forms an “umbrella”. So while it is closed and shields the inside from rain it still feels very open and the view is unobscured.
This is number 27 in the series of 30. We are getting close to the end of the series and preparing for the opening of the Painted Diamonds Exhibit that will be held at the Blue Ridge Arts Council on Main Street in Front Royal on October 23rd from 6-8 pm.

Earlier this week I wrote about painting at Pebbles last Saturday. (Read about it here.) I finally got a few minutes to touch up the painting and get it closer to a finished work. Here it is. I have been invited to hang my work at a new winery in Hume, Winding Road Cellars so I am working on some vineyard scenes for that. I hope to take them out there next week.
