Painted and reworked over more than a year, The Ballpark in Arlington is built through layers of scraping, dripping, sanding and repainting—allowing the surface to evolve alongside the image itself. Small details reward a closer look: a Texas flag stretches across the batter’s eye before the game, Adrián Beltré appears on the video board, and the number 7—a reference to Iván “Pudge” Rodríguez—appears on a player near the foreground. Even a few marks made by the artist’s young daughter became part of the crowd, giving the painting a personal history beneath its depiction of the ballpark.
