Play Ball with Nancy Schutt’s Dog Art

Now What?

In honor of the start of the World Series tonight, here are some fabulous dogs from Seattle artist Nancy Schutt’s Play Ball series. 

I think a slideshow of her work would be perfect for the pre-game pep talk in the Phillies or Rays locker rooms this evening.   These paintings illustrate the fundamentals of baseball: stay with the ball, concentrate, relax and have fun.    In terms of unbridled passion and going “all out” every single throw, no animal on earth can match a dog with a ball.   But for a major league player, it sure would be inspiring to think about such a creature as you head onto the field.  Go team!
