Phillies Lose ©

A pastel painting of a young boy with a red baseball cap, sitting forlornly on the steps of the back door of his house after his favorite sports team lost a game. The image includes a colorful clothes line flapping in a summer breeze. The original image used as swipe for this painting is a black-and-white photograph shot about 50 years ago in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, for an art class at Wilkes College (now Wilkes University), Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
