    The Newcomers

  • Sandy Koufax

    36x36 inches, acrylic on canvas
    2011
    Koufax's demeanor, portrayed here, really betrayed the intensity within him that played a key part in his dominance on the mound during the 60's. The color palette is a bit softer to match his outward disposition, yet still vivid. The light blue background is meant to evoke thoughts of Dodger Stadium.

  • Willie Mays

    2011
    This portrait of the Say Hey Kid captures the enthusiasm and joy of Mays' persona. The genuine smile can be seen in his grin, but more importantly in his eyes as well. I agree with those who call him to be the greatest five-tool ballplayer ever.

  • Mickey Mantle

    Quite possibly the most beloved ballplayer of all time, The Mick was the perfect ballplayer whose speed was as dazzling as his bat. With so many legendary, tape-measure home runs, Mantle left quite an impression on baseball fans by the time his career concluded.

  • Jackie Robinson

    36x36 inches, acrylic on canvas
    2010
    Jackie Robinson was not only the lightning rod for racism during baseball's integration, but also a dynamic and fierce competitor who did not back down from anyone after all codes of restraint were lifted. For this particular painting, I chose to reference an unsmiling Robinson because it wasn't an easy road that he walked.

  • Ted Williams

    36x36 inches, acrylic on canvas
    2010
    The last hitter to reach the .400 plateau, Ted Williams is often considered to be the greatest pure hitter of all time. Along with a picture-perfect swing, Williams' hitting prowess matched his confidence level.

  • Albert Pujols

    36x36 inches, acrylic on canvas
    2009
    3-time N.L. MVP Albert Pujols is the only player in baseball history to begin a career with 10 consecutive seasons of 30 HRs and 100 RBIs. With raw power and keen plate discipline, Pujols is arguably the most dominant righthanded hitter of all time.
