Basketball Paintings - Portraits of New York City Basketball Stars by Jane

Raw Tracks

During Summer-Fall, 1998, I painted these larger-than-life portraits of New York City Tournament Basketball Stars. The Players modeled for the paintings on my rooftop.

These paintings portray Ballers from New York City Basketball Tournaments, including: West Fourth Summer Pro Classic, Nike Pro City at Hunter College, Soul in The Hole, Kingston, Tillary, and the Entertainer's Basketball Classic at Rucker Park, 155th.

The drawings at right were also drawn from life in New York City. Thank you to all the Players for the inspiration.
