Hopes and Dreams

Baseball, it would seem, has begun again. The twitters is all aflutter; boasts and threats and promises are being made on Facebook. Some are claiming that all is right again in the world; baseball for them is akin to civil rights, justice, even oxygen.

This is an image from my project-in-process: On The Bench, for which I received Rear Curtain’s Fellowship Award to support its completion. A bit of a preview, if you will. A teaser. Happy baseball everyone!

Very much liking this. Looks like something back in the ‘Shoeless Joe’ days. Look forward to seeing the finished project amigo.

Thanks Flemming. This is one I like too. We’ll see if it makes the final cut, though. 🙂

In Spring and the start of the season all dreams are possible. In our minds and hearts we can all be playing in the championship game and making the big play. As in life, it is only after the long journey through Summer and Fall that reality separates from hope.

I look forward to the finished copy and seeing your continued success throughout the season.

Thanks, Don. I suppose after many Springs, and then Falls and Winter, one’s hopes and dreams can be tempered. Then again, the rabid nature of some baseball fans argue otherwise… 😉

I’m looking forward to finishing the project as well – it’s a long one!
