Stunning rendering in oil of a truly historic figure to today’s NFL---Joe Willie Namath. Broadway Joe. In Super Bowl III, he lifted the entire AFL on his back, saying we can beat these Baltimore Colts, symbol of NFL superiority. In fact, he said, “ I guarantee it!” He was a man of his word, and the David-like New York Jets went on to embarrass the Colts and propel the merger of the two competing leagues. Joe’s persona is captured in Ron’s Stark masterful oil portrait. As you look at Namath, with head bowed on the bench, your eyes are drawn to those two troublesome knees. It almost looks as if he is thinking, “how much more pain can I endure?” Painting is custom framed.
