Had a friend on Twitter ask me if she could commission me to make a Rickey Henderson Acrylic Painting Piece and I just finished it yesterday. Final dimensions were 11” tall by 6.75” wide and it took 8 different colors and 11 total layers of paint and then spar-urethane to seal it all. Here’s how it turned out!
If anyone would be interested in me making another of these for them to buy please let me know! I can also make a custom designed piece if you have something else in mind!
Henderson loves the sound of his own name, but he was quick to list a few others during his Cooperstown speech in 2009. “ It is an honor to be inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame.” He said “ And have my name next to players like Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, HankAaron, Luke Gehrig, Roberta Clemente…and the list goes on.”
