World Series, Baseball Art, and October Reflections
Painting baseball isn’t just about a game; it’s capturing moments we don’t want to let go of. Each piece is a small tribute, a way of keeping the thrill of game day alive. For me, it’s like the season never ends—I get to relive it every time I pick up a brush.
The Game That Lasts a Lifetime: Baseball and Art
In my painting The Game, I sought to capture baseball’s magic. The 6-by-10-foot painting immerses you in the batter’s box, moments before the pitch. It’s the tension, anticipation, and fleeting seconds that make baseball so iconic, and I wanted to freeze that feeling, placing the viewer right at the heart of the action.
Sandy Koufax: Painting a Legend Beyond the Stats
Sandy Koufax represents something bigger than baseball. Sure, his stats are incredible—three Cy Youngs, four no-hitters, a perfect game—but what’s always stood out to me is how he played through pain. In 1965, when he refused to pitch during the World Series because it fell on Yom Kippur, it was a moment that transcended sports. Koufax was a man of few words, but his actions on the field spoke volumes, and he never sought out the spotlight. I try to reflect that in my work.
How I Stumbled into a Career as a Sports Artist
It all started when a Fox Sports director spotted my baseball paintings in a nightclub window, a moment that shifted my career from painting musicians to a whole new chapter in sports art. I never imagined I’d be creating pieces for stadiums and arenas, but it just happened, with each painting capturing the raw emotion and energy of sports. The unpolished, rugged nature of my work, with its rough edges and seams, tells its own story—much like the athletes I paint.
