First Inning Artworks

About the painting

This and other other paintings posted earlier (here, here, and here), are part of a number where I have tried to minimize the detail and emphasize the light and shadow. This has been fun for me, and I hope they are fun for the viewer to look at.

And look for more like this one soon.

We’re into the baseball postseason — the most exciting time of the year for the baseball fan. Still, we need to glance at football at least for a moment. Some big contests are on tap over the next couple of weeks. Attention should be paid.

About the painting

Like other paintings posted earlier (here, here, and here), this is a watercolor rendered in a loose, suggestive style. A lot here is left to the viewer’s imagination. The big question is: Who wins this contest — the guy in red or the guys in orange. The orange boys seem to have the upper hand, but we are looking at the middle of the play. We can only imagine (as we should) what happens next.

Saturday in September means football, but it’s getting late in the month, and baseball is resurging. Look for more baseball sets soon.

This landscape was painted several years ago, and I’m not sure it exists any more. Wear’s Valley runs along the western edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and during the past 10 years it has been discovered by developers. The scenes such as the one in this painting were once abundant but are now few and far between.
