Baseball Jar

Baseball Jar, Oil on Linen, 14x11

I love baseball and every summer I do a baseball themed painting.  "Baseball Jar" is this year's effort. I have been painting Ball jars recently, which are fun to do, and the play on words inspired the idea.   I am pleased to say it won an Honorable  Mention award last week at the Moore County Arts Council annual Fine Arts Festival in Southern Pines, NC.

The painting below is currently on exhibit at the Footlight  Players Theatre in Charleston as part of their French inspired theme for their production of the musical, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Sox On The Rocks

                                         Oil on Linen, 10 x 10

Just two weeks until the end of the baseball season.  As a die hard Red Sox fan, it has been a long summer, too long.  This time last year they were playing their way to a World Series Championship. This year they will have the honor of becoming the first major league team to go from worst (2012) to first to worst in three seasons!  The Sox really are on the rocks this year, so what is a fan to do but drown their sorrows with a favorite tipple?  I know my friend and fellow Red Sox fan enjoys the occasional martini, so this one's for you, Ruth.  Happy Birthday!   As for the Sox, there's always next year......
