Smith Sign Finished 2A few weeks ago I got a request to paint a pet portrait on an outdoor sign.  I don’t generally paint signs but this one was special so I accepted the challenge.  I completed it and delivered it last week and the client was thrilled.  Pet Portraits are one of my favorite things to do.  Smith was a fun one!  I love the expression on his face.

The Bing

Bing Crosby Stadium Front Royal, Virginia

Bing Crosby Stadium
Front Royal, Virginia

I couldn’t paint all those ball parks over the last six months and not include our very own “Bing Crosby Stadium”.  So number 31 in my series of Painted DIamonds is The Bing, as it is affectionately known in Front Royal.  It opened in April of 1950 and is the home to the Front Royal Cardinals, a collegiate summer baseball team.

There are many variations to the story of how the stadium got its name.  Here is one:

In 1948, while serving as Grand Marshall of the Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester, Bing Crosby came to Front Royal at the invitation of Senator Raymond R. Guest to help with a fund-raising campaign for a new ball park. He contributed $1,000 to the effort. In 1950, Mr. Crosby returned to Front Royal for the premiere of his movie, “Riding High”, and made another contribution of $3,572.92, which completed the fund-raising campaign.

A plaque at the stadium reads as follows:  “The stadium was dedicated on April 1, 1950.  It was erected by the people of Front Royal and Warren County in sincere appreciation of Bing Crosby’s assistance in promoting recreational facilities for the youth of this community. “

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.
