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.

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.

Winding Down a BIG Project

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!

Tropicana Field
Tampa Bay Rays

Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays, is the 16th ball park in the series of 30. More than half way now. Woo Hoo! This field is another of the domed fields. I don’t find them as interesting to paint as the open air fields.

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

Baseball 1

Baseball 2

Baseball is on my mind these days. And while it’s fun to paint the baseball fields as part of my Kickstarter project (Read more about that here) I had fun yesterday painting just a simple baseball. These paintings are acrylic measuring 6″x6″ and are available for $50 each by emailing kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com

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.
