A different #palette – v3 #baseball #painting #MLB

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…

A different #palette

A different palette, not primary colors,
Those on the color wheel only…
Painting something more important,
Colors of history, of nostalgia, of memory,
From our perspective, our collective ethos.
 
Delicately brushed on the canvas,
Capturing a moment, perfection…
Affixing more than their features,
Something of the power, the gravitas,
Willing the colors to become permanent,
Capturing light in a bottle, alive.
 
Our heroes, a different moment,
Our country’s history, our youth,

Drawn from the palette, a wooing,
A willing of the images to come alive…

Painting in shades of light – v2

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 – v3

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.
