Baseball Art Mariano Rivera NY Yankees Pitcher Baseball Painting

Sports Art painting of Mariano Rivera is 5 feet by 6 feet acrylic on unstretched canvas.  I painted him looking a bit older than he actually is.  Think of it as kind of like a painting where the image gets older but the actual person stays eternally young.  (Somewhat like Dorian Gray without the hedonism.

Mariano is a  pitcher who has played 19 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Yankees. Nicknamed "Mo",[1] Rivera has spent most his career as a relief pitcher, and has served as the Yankees' closer since 1997.

Image of Drew Doughty LA Kings Defenseman Sports Painting

Sports painting. Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty  The sports image by John Robertson is painted on brown paper approximately 4 feet by 7 ½ feet, acrylic. It is the first time I have painted large-scale on paper and was an experiment to see how the paint acts on it’s surface.  I liked the watery consistency of the paint which adds to the nature of a hockey player.  It gives the image a feeling of more action.  My object in painting is not to paint illustratively.  It is about expressing the idea of hockey and the individual player without representing the person exactly.  Photographs do that quite nicely.

Art Boxing Floyd Mayweather Jr. Image by sports artist John Robertson

I had painted this image of Floyd Mayweather Jr. A couple of years ago and it probably is posted on this blog - but I thought  I would post it again because of his win over Robert Guerrero in their welterweight fight last night.  At thirty-six Mayweather is still going strong.  He remains unbeaten in 44 fights.  Tough to argue that he is not a great fighter.  The boxing art image of Floyd Mayweather Jr. is 4 feet by 5 feet, acrylic on unstretched canvas

Koufax pitched left-handed. He played his entire Major League Baseball (MLB) career for the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers, from 1955 to 1966. He retired at the peak of his career, and in 1972

Koufax's had six outstanding seasons from 1961 to 1966, before arthritis in his left elbow ended his career prematurely at age 30. He was named the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1963. He won the 1963, 1965, and 1966 Cy Young Awards by unanimous votes, making him the first 3-time Cy Young winner in baseball history In each of his Cy Young seasons, Koufax won the pitcher's triple crown by leading the NL in wins, strikeouts, and earned run.

Koufax was the first major leaguer to pitch four no-hitters (including the eighth perfect game in baseball history). Despite his comparatively short career, Koufax's 2,396 career strikeouts ranked 7th in history as of his retirement, trailing only Warren Spahn (2,583) among left-handers. Koufax and Nolan Ryan are the only two pitchers inducted into the Hall of Fame who had more strikeouts than innings pitched.

Image Golf Ball Art Painting Back Tee

While I was in college I managed a golf driving range and had an opportunity to hit a lot of golf balls. I always remember the golf hustler that would hang around the golf shack trying to get bets on different shots off the tee. His favorite line to me was "Swing at it again." I think the only reason he stood behind me was so I wouldn’t see him laughing at me. I saw him hit golf balls off the picnic tables and benches set up in front of the shack. He took a garden hoe from the tool shed and hit the the 200 yard sign from the roof of the golf shack.
