I have seen so many wonderful artist's paint this. Now, here I am wanting to give my own spin if you will on this "American Icon" "The Baseball". The thing is, I am not a sports person at all. I don't know one team from another but, what I do know is shapes, composition and color. I have had this baseball in my studio for years, not sure how I came by it but, that maters not so I approached it with the intent of giving it life. I wanted it to fly through the air like it was intended to do. I wanted it to be a "Home Run". This is an original oil painting on Birch wood that is mounted to a 6x6inch varnished wooden box: Gift to my grandson
