Jackie Robinson Painting

Jackie Robinson
36" x 36"
acrylic on canvas

I RECENTLY FINISHED this painting of Jackie Robinson, the second in a series of ballplayer portraits I started painting last year. I decided to paint an image of him without a smile, since his career embodied the fight and struggle against racism where life was anything but a cake walk for him and minorities in general. It's hard to capture the true vibrancy of the colors used, but this image still does some justice to the actual painting.

Albert Pujols Painting Finished

THE FINISHED VERSION of Albert Pujols after adding the dots. This is the first in a series of ballplayer portraits I'll be doing. This one took roughly half a year to complete in working around my normal work schedule. Will be working on a Jackie Robinson portrait next.

In Progress: Albert Pujols N.L. MVP '09

OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS I've been working on an Albert Pujols painting, and thought what better time to post my progress with The Machine claiming his third N.L. MVP award. And if not for Barry Bond's tainted legacy, this might have been Pujols' fifth MVP award. I'll be posting the finished version eventually.
