Winding Road painting complete

I’ve been working on a few new paintings of vineyards to hang at Winding Roads Cellars.

I finally got several together and took them out to hang last week. You must go out and see this lovely place.

Winding Roads is a new winery located between Markham and Hume and they have a terrific product. It’s a beautiful ride out there too. They are open Thursday – Monday.

And of course, while you are there please check out my new art. This is one of the new paintings and it is of the view from the winery’s back deck overlooking the little pond on their property.

This painting is SOLD!

The Bing

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’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!
