Mickey Mantle by Jason Swain

Jason has once again picked up the brushes, to take us on a colorful trip back into one of sports greatest moments. One of the New York Yankee's finest; Mickey Mantle's 49th home run.

September 3rd 1961. It is the 3rd game of a 3 game series, against the Detroit tigers. Mickey steps up to the plate, swings and blast his 49th home run of the season, into the right field stands. It is a two run shot, that places the Yankees ahead with a 2-1 lead. He would go on to hit his 50th home run of the season in this same game.

This portrait is available as a Limited Edition Canvas Giclee.

Thank you for your kind comments, this was a tough one as the brush I had to use was very tiny, so there isn't much space to fit the details in. Shanon as always has done a beaut job in presenting the different steps, we always look forward to the next painting.

Cheers

It is really great!I also paint,I will go to art college in Bucharest(Romania) over two years!But if I painted like you, the teacher would give me little note because he always tell me that a paint shouldn't look like a photo..anyway, I love your paintings!:X:X

As a long time Dodger Fan, reading about Mickey Mantle and watching Footage of his Blasts. I realized here was a human that had No equal in the combination of Power & Speed. From both sides of the Plate. He had Griffey, Bonds Like power from the left side & McGwyer, Kingman power from the right side of the plate. Even In this steroid era, I still believe it to be so.

I agree with the other comments...The start is a great suprise and I love the real time commentary, it just adds something special to another great portrait...Jason you never cease to amaze me with your talent, especially with the perfect skin tones you do, you certainly give this the 'WOW!' factor, and of course no video of yours would be complete without the trademark shot of you and painting....Great video Shanon, love the music. Keep up the great work you to, you make an awesome team!
