I find it very interesting that you can find inspiration for your paintings in the most simple and everyday places. How exciting to be sitting in a baseball game contemplating your next painting, and deciding which particular part of the game would be the perfect position for you to draw your inspiration from. I found it quite elegant . You have managed to take a very classic scene and turn it into something extraordinary; the subtle flashes of light in the background give you the impression of impatient fans shouting and taking pictures, cheering on their team. I must admit that I am not much of a sports fan, but you managed to captivate my attention through this painting.karidalis72010-07-15T22:52:31Zhttp://artblog.oilpastelstudio.com/2009/02/15/oil-pastel-in-mixed-media.aspx#comment-3287741Very cute looking.
