Did Kenneth tell you he has a “Winnie the Pooh” signed by Christopher Robin (+ a short poem)? My sister worked for him (he had a bookshop, Dartmouth in Devon), a clever and witty man.

Comment on Pitchers & Hitters by splynch

Thanks for sharing all this Stephen. It all adds colour to my simple sketches. I have taken stop action pictures while my kids are pitching and they find this a great way to study their form. But actually sketching it as it happens is quite another matter. As you say, it happens pretty quickly.

I love baseball. I use to be a pitcher. A southpaw who could throw real hard but I got hit in the head by Clay Kirby (he use to be the Padres' single season strikeout leader) when I was sixteen and I never played hardball again. Fractured my skull and messed me up pretty badly for a few months but that was a long, long time ago. I loss the ability to read and had my speech altered for a short span of time but it all came back. Kirby threw 90 mph even back in high school and we only wore those old timey helmets without an ear flap. I don't know why I felt like saying all this. I like your sketch and I still love baseball, my oldest daughter was a collegiate softball player for Notre Dame and Harvard and my ex-wife's great uncle pitched for the Washington Senators back in 1913. Oh well, I sure filled your blog with stuff about me; sorry. I see baseball subject matter and I just have to ramble on. Drawing pitchers is more difficult unless you've pitched yourself because the motion happens so quickly.

This is a really nicely composed painting. It just fits together perfectly.
