Painting the Washington Nationals Philanthropies’ Award Presentation

This painting was created live at the Washington Nationals Philanthropies’ Night 4Good that took place in the MGM National Harbor to celebrate the true meaning of the Nationals Philanthropies, a charitable arm of the Washington Nationals baseball team that gives back to the local community. The event featured the presentation of the annual Power of Baseball award to Theodore N. Lerner, Founding Managing Principal Owner of the Washington Nationals.

Congratulations to Mr. Lerner on his award and lifetime achievements. As he noted in his acceptance speech and as I then added to this painting: “on field excellence with off the field impact.”

Here are some photos from the event:
