Ryan Feltner is discussing his art.
This particular painting, one he’s informally named “Busy,” is a riot of colors, shapes, meaning and emotions.
“It says something about me, for sure,” the Rockies’ starting pitcher said. “In a way, it’s about reaching into yourself, maybe getting back to the child inside. But it’s also about forgetting things you’ve learned, getting past all of those layers, and then just seeing what comes out.
“But paintings also say something different to anyone who looks at them. I like that. That’s really what I’m going for.”
Spoken like a true abstract expressionist.
