Proof for Poster I’ve spent the last couple of days preparing the layout for a poster of the Painted Diamonds series.  It went to print last night.  Woo Hoo!  This is part of the Kickstarter rewards.  Pledges at the certain level will receive a poster.  Others will get a print of a certain field and at the higher level pledge some will receive an actual painting.

We will also have posters and prints available for sale beginning next week as well as the original paintings that have not already sold.

If you have a baseball fan in your family this is a great gift idea for Christmas.  Something unique for the person who already has everything!

Number 26 in the series of 30, Comerica Park is the home of the Detroit Tigers.  It is one of only two  modern ball parks that feature the dirt strip between home plate and the pitcher’s mound.  (The other being Chase Field.)  Beyond the outfield is a beautiful view of the Detroit skyline.  The scoreboard at Comerica features two large tigers on top and when a home run is scored their eyes light up and growls are played on the loud speakers.

I was asked about the process I use in painting one of the ball fields for my Kickstarter Project – Painted Diamonds.  So I tried to take photos while I worked on the painting of the Chicago Cubs Wrigley Field to show you the progress.  Sometimes I get so involved that I forget to take a picture but you get the idea.

Every artist works differently.  I usually start at the top and work in the basic shapes moving toward the subject matter that is closest to the viewer at the end and then go back in to put details.  That’s the great thing about painting.  There is no right or wrong way as long as the end result makes you happy then you did it just right!

Wrigley is the 4th painting in the series of 30 that I am painting for my Kickstarter Project- Painted Diamonds – where I will be painting every Major League Baseball park before the World Series this year.
