I love baseball and during baseball season, I practically plan my life around SF Giants baseball! Love to watch the games and the best part is that I can paint while they are on. It is best when they win, but that isn't always the case- case in point- yesterday. The Giants aren't scoring many runs (and they are usually in the last two innings) so it is amazing they win as often as they do. They are in first place in the NL West. Enough about that...
These watercolors are a baby gift for the newest boy in our family. My wonderful nephew and his equally wonderful wife recently had a baby boy. The baseball theme was a special request for a little art over his crib. These were both fun to paint, especially since I think they will like them. I am going to paint Jameson's name and birth date on the base ball- I think it will look good painted like a signed baseball instead of just printing it. What do you think?
I have done the game of golf in watercolor but we don´t play baseball in Germany so I never even thought to do it...I really like both...great idea and lovely work!
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic work!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Sheryl!
An original painting created just for the recipient is always the perfect gift! It will be treasured for years, and they will think of you every time they look at it! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cynthia! My son is stationed in Germany and luckily he isn't a baseball fan.
