+++++ And this is what Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"As a classic medium, painting has given me the chance to celebrate
classics of american culture. I've painted the fabled mansion of Elvis
Presley, the towers of the Brooklyn Bridge and the skyline of San
Francisco. I've even set up my easel in theme parks and palaces of
American sports in my search to commemorate bits of history. Boston's
Fenway Park is an example of history in the making - it is one of the
ultimate shrines of baseball.
Fenway Park, the oldest Major League ballpark, opened in 1912. The
towering Green Monster wall looms over a short left field; Pesky Pole
in right field yields the shortest homers in the majors. A lone red
seat in right field marks the landing place of Ted Williams’ mighty
1946 shot.
I brought my watercolors to the park for the clinching Game 7 of the
2007 ALCS. Returning to California, I translated the original study
into a colorful suggestion of energy and detail. Then with layer upon
delicate layer I built up the painting. First acrylic to add texture
and toning, then transparent glazes of oil color followed by broad
impasto strokes.
I hope the final result captures the energy of the moment. Though
there is nothing like being there in person, hopefully my Fenway Park
can remind many baseball fans of the historic 2007 World Series."

~~~ ABOUT FENWAY PARK ~~~
Fenway Park hosted its first professional baseball game the day it
opened on April 20, 1912. The Red Sox defeated the New York
Highlanders (later named the Yankees) 7-6 in 11 innings before 27,000
fans. Tris Speaker drove in the winning run. Fenway Park was actually
due to open two days earlier, on April 18; however, there were two
postponements due to rain. The opening of Fenway Park was pushed off
the front pages of Boston newspapers by news of the Titanic sinking.
The team's owner, a Civil War veteran and Boston Globe owner, General
Charles Henry Taylor, bought the team for his son John I. Taylor in
1904. In 1907,owner Taylor changed the club's name from the Pilgrims
to the Red Sox. In 1910, tired of the leasing arrangement for the
Huntington Avenue Grounds, Taylor made a big announcement: he would
build a new ballpark for his Red Sox. Taylor dubbed the new ballpark
Fenway Park because of its location in the Fenway section of Boston.
Fenway Park measures 310 feet down the left field line: 379 feet in
left center field; 390 feet in center field; 420 feet in deep center
field; 380 feet in deep right field; and 302 feet down the right field
line. Its peculiar dimensions were not intended to provide a tempting
target for home run hitters, but to keep nonpaying customers out of
the park.
Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, resounds with the echoes of
great baseball players: Cy Young, Babe Ruth, Jimmy Collins, Duffy
Lewis, Tris Speaker, Harry Hooper, Joe Cronin, Bobby Doerr, Johnny
Pesky, Ted Williams, Jimmie Foxx, Carlton Fisk, Jim Rice and Carl
Yastrzemski, to name just a few.
The biggest baseball crowd ever at Fenway was 47,627 for a Yankees
doubleheader on September 22, 1935. Those crowds will never be equaled
under Fenway's current dimensions. After World War II, more stringent
fire laws and league rules prohibited the overcrowding that was so
common in the 1930s. The current capacity of Fenway Park is 36,108 for
night games and 35,692 for day games.
Fenway Park has one of the last hand-operated scoreboards in the Major
Leagues in the left field wall. Green and red lights are used to
signal balls, strikes, and outs. Each scoreboard number used to
indicate runs and hits measures 16 inches by 16 inches and weighs
three pounds. The numbers used for errors, innings, and pitcher's
numbers measure 12 inches by 16 inches, and weigh two pounds each.
