Not just evocative,
drawing us into these
moments,
we are there with them,
experiencing what they
felt,
sitting in our reserved
seats,
smelling the peanuts,
tasting the beer, the
popcorn,
feeling that same sunlight
upon us,
watching our heroes play,
Baseball, eternal, remembering,
these moments today...

We are there, present,
Holding the heavy cameras
Looking through the lenses
Trying to get the shot.
We are in the moment,
The roar of the crowd
around us
Standing in foul territory
Trying to get the shot.
We are there, present,
At the stadiums, the parks,
With the fans, the
players,
Trying to get the shot.
We are in the moment
Seeking to freeze the
action
We are with our heroes
Trying to get the shot.
We are there, present,
Though generations later
Seeing through the paintings
That they go the shot…

#poetry #painting #art #baseball #photography #light #GraigKreindler #color #heroes #nationalpastime #memory #nostalgia
A different palette, different
brushstrokes,
Not merely the three primary
colors,
Those on the color wheel
only, drawing,
Painting something more
important, willing,
Colors of history, of
time, of nostalgia, of memory,
From our perspective, our
collective ethos,
From our one story, our common
ken, to life.
Delicately brushing grains
of history on the canvas,
Adding memory of the fans,
the nation,
Capturing a moment,
perfection…
Affixing more than their
features,
Something of the power,
the gravitas,
Willing the hesitant colors
to become permanent,
Evoking mystery, capturing
light in a bottle, a spark.
Bleeding nostalgia, importance,
these colors,
Our heroes, a different
moment, a time,
Our country’s history, our
youth,
What we would wish it to
be,
When we all played the
same game,
Drawn from the palette, a
wooing,
A willing of the images to
come alive…

Painting in shades of
light...
not merely in hue, in
color,
trying to capture the memory,
the warmth of mid-summer.
Painting in shades of
light...
a daunting proposition,
seeking to capture the
image,
the truth before our eyes.
Painting in shades of
light...
to gather features,
meaning,
to honor the work of
others,
who capture light in a
bottle.

Painting
eternity, icons, our national pastime,
capturing our heroes, a moment of grace,
Glorious, as
they were in those moments;
Longing for perfection, seeking to get it right,
striving to be faithful, to the image, to that age,
When we called
them heroes, gods of the diamonds.
Seeing the
nobility, the gravitas, the moment,
grown men
playing a game we all knew, our pastime,
with fealty to
our nostalgia, our myths, our legends,
to the images in the emulsion, capturing their faces;
Longing for the power in the lighting, the shades of color,
painting our diamond heroes, so many we have lost.
