"Beaumont to the Big Leagues"
12" x 16" / Watercolor / Paper / Unframed
Autographed by Jay Bruce
This painting features Cincinnati Reds outfielder, Jay Bruce.
In Photo 1, you see the painting in it's very beginning stages -- what I call, pre-paint drawing. From there, you see more and more color and detail added in each photo. One thing you will notice that's out of the ordinary...for me, at least, is that Mr. Bruce autographed the painting before the piece was finished. Normally, I insist on only having finished pieces signed, but because of the timing of the autograph siging, I wasn't able to complete the painting in time.
The painting was autographed by Mr. Bruce at a signing with Tri-Star Productions in Houston, Texas in 2008. He signed in blue Sharpie, and is a nice, clean signature.
The signature is "verified" by a COA from Tri-Star Productions, which would accompany the original painting, if purchased.
