Capturing the Rhythm of the Basketball Court: My "Venice Beach Street Players" Painting

Thinking  about and watching  the NCAA's Final Four during March Madness reminded me of this basketball painting I created for the NBA, Orlando Magic; Amway Sports Arena.  My painting "Venice Street Players" captures the raw energy and creativity of basketball games on Venice Beach's famous courts. These courts, known from the "White Men Can't Jump," movie are special to me.   I spent a lot of time around them when my girlfriend (now my wife) lived in Venice, California.
