“BUCKEYE BLESSING”
“TWO SPECIAL PAINTINGS”
These are two paintings that I created celebrating part of Ohio State history. I never produced any prints of the “Quiet Reflections” artwork since I would have needed to get a license from the NCAA for using the championship trophy image.
The “Mirror Lake Jump” artwork was not approved at the time by OSU so no prints were produced.
Painted after the 2002 National Championship, I tried to capture a relaxed moment to reflect on a truly great year and I believe that a setting by Mirror lake delivered that message
