An homage to the great sports artist Leroy Neiman and also to a great friend of an intense and unstoppable nature. I painted this several times on the same canvas. The final result was completed very late one weekend evening when not a soul stirred but my mind and my brush. Even the pallet was foregone as I painted straight from the tube as inspiration took over. It is one of those paintings that sits in the back of your mind for weeks on end asking to be laid down. Then one evening as the house was asleep but I couldn't...the canvas called and the result was this.
