Art by Lori Rowe: Boston in Red

Boston in Red

Original watercolor on canvasboard - $300.00

I enjoyed painting this Boston Terrier with thoughts of the Red Sox never far from my mind. I was one of those children raised on the Boston Red Sox, I always say I think I was breast feed in front of the games. My mom would watch even when dad was out to sea, and she clipped the standings and articles about the Sox to send to him while he was gone. The sox are one type of religion in our family, they are never far from our thoughts or conversations. I guess it is suitable to dedicate this one to mom and dad whom both past away in August 10 years and 1 day apart. They, unfortunately, did not get to see the Sox win the world series in 2004 and 2007, but were hardy Sox fans none the less. For all those that felt my (our) pain as the Sox were swept by the evil empire (Yankees) this last weekend, just remember; 8 wins for the Red Sox - 4 for the Yankees this season. And if those Yankee fans give you a hard time, tell them the stat's and to kiss your MLB butt!!! ;-)
