Baseball by Darren Maurer


5" x 7"
With the World Series going on right now I decided to paint a baseball. I tried some different still life set ups including a wooden bat but they all seemed to busy and complicated. In the end I think just the baseball by itself says everything that it needs to say. This is painting 116 in my Painting A Day Series. Painting Sold

that ball has seen a few hard grounders in its day. I agree that the simple composition with just the ball did what you wanted. Perfect timing for the world series. What a marketing genius you are

Peter,
Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in awhile. Genius might be stretching it somewhat. Thanks for the compliments everybody!!!
