#gameofchange

It’s the start of a new week so I wanted change it up a little. 😉 I want to start posting my paintings and explain some of their meanings for everyone. 🖼💖 This was a painting from my show Niji Bambini which translates to “rainbow children” and in fact I feel like Neapolicorn is one of my precious offspring. 🌈👶💞 In her I see myself, closing my eyes and playing carefree in a world of color and surrealism. 😌🌍✨ The butterflies represent my freedom but also show that its a game of chance since they are playing cards. ♠♥♦♣ My art is a gamble, like life is, take risks to get great rewards or fail, but no matter what I still get to play.👧🎨🖌💕

Inspired by “The Game of Change 1963” NCAA . Loyola vs. Mississippi State. The team escape their State to play this game (defying a state injunction to play a basketball game against a team with a largely African-American roster) #change #gameofchange #noboundaries #art #arte #painting #paint #pintura #acrylicpainting #acrylic #acrilico #hand #mele #meleart #elena #meleart #life #love #sport #sports #universal #universallove #elenamendez #equality #allisone #basketball #baloncesto #history #historia #detail #basket https://www.instagram.com/p/BsWDCzOBIA5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6dqnr8np1s6b

If this is how baseball looks now, how will baseball be different 20 years from now? In my opinion I feel in 20 years or more technology will ever change and help the game of baseball improve greatly, not only for the players but also for the fans during their time within the baseball stadium. Growing up going to baseball games, I have already seen leaps and bounds made through technology to enhance the game day experience. But now as almost every major league baseball stadium has second screens and allows fans to watch the games from a billboard. Many colleges are moving to having second screens and want to make college baseball have a similar feel and similarity to MLB. Also, if you notice in most MLB stadiums there are individual seats for each fan, and to try to increase attendance at college baseball games they are remodeling most stadiums to have individual seats, as well, instead of bleachers. I think these changes are great and cannot wait to see how to game of baseball is changed in another twenty years.
