A Letter to PNC Park Print

This painting was inspired by my love for baseball and PNC Park- The Home of the Pittsburgh Pirates. I have been deeply touched and inspired to paint this stadium during this time when Coronavirus has limited so many of the activities we enjoy. If you are a sports fan like myself, you know that all sporting events have been suspended. I was very sad on the day that we were supposed to be at PNC for the Home Opener, but instead we were forced to stay at home on quarantine. Painting the stadium which overlooks the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh on a 8X10 canvas board helped me cope with that empty feeling of missing out. I also wrote a letter to the baseball stadium that has meant so much to me. The letter goes as follows. A Letter to PNC Park Dear PNC Park, I have loved you since I was a kid. Now, my own kid loves you. On Thursday we were supposed to be at the Home Opener. The realization of that not happening really hurt. So for now, I stand here from across the Allegheny River and just see your beauty. Although you are empty, you hold so many of my wonderful memories. And soon (when this is all over), you will hold many more incredible memories for all of Pittsburgh. Opening Day will have to wait, but nothing can stop me from loving you. I wanted to show that love through this painting. Love, Jordan Lundquist
