 Red Sox 1946, 1998, oil on panel, 11'‘x 14”

Baseball Paintings

These athletes are well known for their accomplishments on the field.  I am interested in portraying their vulnerabilities as men. I am particularly drawn to painting people whose life experience is very different from my own. Painting these old time ball players is a way of imagining their lives, a meditation on their roles as both ordinary men and American heroes. What remains is an understanding that ballplayers – even great ones – are less acquainted with triumph than they are with failure.
