Description
This acrylic painting was created in 1999 for Linda's nephew Derrek, 10 years old at the time. He's now is a Senior in college and plays baseball as a catcher. Ms. Simon's reference for "Derrek's Homerun" was the first issue of the magazine- Sports Illustrated! The famous baseball player, Eddie Mathews of the Milwaukee Braves at the plate at Milwaukee County Stadium, graces the 1954 black and white cover. A giclee print of "Derrek's Homerun", 3ft x 5ft is displayed on the set of TV pilot "Danni Lowinski" show! Linda's family are often the lucky recipients of her subject matter!
