Portrait of John McEnroe. McEnroe was known for temper, often very angry at the tennis courts (70-80íes).
As a tennis loving artist I had to paint McEnroe (and Bjorn Borg) whom played against each other at Wimbledon so many times
And as a teenager I watched their matches in the TV. We had only one TV-channel in those days, so everyone watch the tennis.
Hidden in the colourful background are old black/white photos of previous legends, such as Eva Goolagong and more.
Jimmy Connors was always a ‘chip on the shoulder’ so of course that is exactly where he is placed ;o) .. same goes for Borg.
A painting of his rival, Borg, was made at the same time, also with Jimmy as his ‘chip on the shoulder’.
The two portraits look great together, however they can be purchased separately.
You can also buy them both as prints in a size of your choice.
