Baseball glove oil painting

I found some time to work on this painting yesterday, and got up early this morning to correct the shadow under the foreground base ball. I moved the ball from one side of the glove to the other for a better composition, but I just couldn’t get the shadow right. I was making it to big and the ball looked like it was floating in the air. After beating up the canvas for a while I decided take a picture of it and work it out in Photoshop. I’ve done this before and it can be a real time and paint saver.

I’m thinking about putting in a few baseball bats to add interest to the composition, but I don’t want to over do it. I’ll just leave it alone for now. I want to bring it back to class Wednesday for a critique.
