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.
