Fenway Park

Fenway Park 12x16 Oil
When i heard my nephew was getting married, I knew just what I wanted to paint for a wedding gift. Raised in New England, Kevin is an avid Red Sox fan. He was uprooted to Colorado many years ago as a child, but his passion for the Red Sox remains strong. For several years our son got tickets by 3rd base and we spent many a game sitting  by the Gulf sign. I set out to include the sign and the "green monster". The red fan attire and "green monster" established a perfect color harmony. Afternoon sun provided some nice shadow effects. The painting was really fun to paint and got a warm reception when presented. Kevin's wife has even taken to cheering for the Sox.


Update: They now have a baby boy- a Red Sox fan already!
