I'm feeling VERY generous. AND SO ready for football to start. Is anyone out there with me on that? Can I get a "Heck Yeah?" Summer has taken it's toll and I'm ready for fall, the smell of a freshly cut football field. I can just smell it right now as I type. Chills run up and down my arms!
SO....in honor of my favorite team.....I'm giving away 3, yes THREE of these!!!
like I said before,,,,no not my son, or Joe Namath. What they are however, are signed and numbered artist's proofs of my print "Missing Bear". I sell them for 129.00 each and just have the urge to give 3 away!.
This is the original which is hanging in the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame
It's not for sale
however.....they do have the rights of the 400 - 500 signed and numbered prints which are priced at 49.00
if you are interested or are are interested in visiting the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame here is the website
www.ashof.com
it is an AMAZING place to visit!

Those are Awesome, I remember the day he passed, I was in 6th grade and they came over the PA and Said he had died, it was total quietness all over my school. Some people even began to cry. I have a number of News clipping to hang in my new home but that is one Awesome picture that would look just Awesome in my guest room. Yesterday was my birthday and this would make me an awesome gift as well.

This print is beautiful! It would look FANTASTIC hanging proudly in my home! I have been a BAMA fan since I was a child - runs in the family. Practically everyone in my family has attended the UA and many of my family members work there as well. Such a wonderful school with an overwhelming legacy. My husband also attended the UA and was not a football fan when we met, but just one season later and I am now married to a die-hard fan! Our four year old daughter is SO EXCITED about the game on Saturday - she can't wait to wear her UA Cheerleader uniform!! From a very young age she could tell you that the elephant says "ROLL TIDE!" This time of year is so magical - crisp fall air, Yea! Alabama! playing, Golden Flake chips with a Coke, Eli Gold on the radio, and the Crimson Tide dominating on the field! ROLL TIDE my friends, ROLL TIDE!

My name is Rebecca Seaman. I have been an Alabama fan since I was old enough to talk. I remember watching all the games on tv and watching the Bear Bryant show with the coke and golden flake chips. I would keep news papers of all the wins and I loved the "315"win and the 3 second field goal by Van Tiffin but I lost everything when my mother's house burned. I would really love to win the picture and have something of the Bear.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome way to to remember the "Bear"...
ReplyDeleteI was born with BAMA in my blood...my Dad is from Haleyville, Alabama...what can I say but ROLL TIDE...It would be an honor to grace our home with your painting...My husband and I are HUGE college football fans...and truly the "house divided"...Alabama & Georgia...we will kick off the season by pulling out the smoker for some BBQ...
Alabama's game on September 11th will bring back memories of Bear Bryant when we play Penn State...those were the games to watch...Although, on that day our coach and team will be ready...one thing will be missing and this is Bear Bryant..
Take Care,

ReplyDeleteI happen to be an FSU Seminole, but if anyone was at the game in Jacksonville in 2007 and looked over at the Marching Chiefs, you would have seen a girl in uniform holding up a sign supporting one of the Bama players...that'd be me ;)
ReplyDeleteOver the past 4 years, Alabama has become my #2 team (nothing will ever top my Noles, sorry!) because of watching one of my friends play - P.J. Fitzgerald, the punter that made that awesome tackle during the SEC Championship game last year against the Ga(y)tors. He's just graduated with a Masters degree and a National Championship ring, and I think it would be SUPERB if I could give him something like this as a gift for his upcoming marriage.
Regardless, thank you for creating this beautiful piece. Just seeing it this morning has me even MORE pumped for football season (is that even possible?!). I will still be cheering for Alabama, even though my friend is no longer on the team, and hope this season is even better than last ;)

My Daddy passed away in 1992 right before football season began. Weeks before he died we were aware he was beginning to make the journey because he kept visiting with people we could not see but had passed into heaven years before. The one visit I will never forget was the day my dad and I sat talking and he looked up and with complete joy exclaimed, "Well hello Coach Bryant!" Roll Tide!!!

ReplyDelete9-11---the same day as Paul Bear Bryant's birthday. He called me my freshman year when I was in school and living in Tutwiler to say Happy Birthday and he was glad we shared the day. (My mom had set it up). I have an Alabama room and this great painting would make a fabulous addition. (I'm going to post this and hope my college roomie will validate my story..she answered the phone on 9-11-1979 and can validate this story. ROLL TIDE!! I am ready for some football!

Roll Tide Roll! What a great thing you are doing! I was an RA at Tutwiler late 70s/early 80s so can validate Lorrie's comment about the phone call from Bear! I think she actually asked him who he was thinking it was a practical joker!! I have an Alabama room at my house in the heart of Georgia Bulldog country and proudly display my Bama love with my "Alabama" license plate. Being an elementary school principal, my students and parents know well who I support! Tomorrow is college colors day and I will proudly wear Crimson and White!!
ReplyDeleteWow! How wonderful of you do give away 3 of these beautiful prints!!! Any Crimson blooded AL fan would be thrilled to win it. We took our granddaughter to her first AL game when she was 10 1/2 months old. She cried the entire first half but true AL fans are born to love BAMA!!! The second half she learned how to shake her hands in the air and yelled "Woll Tide" which were her 2nd and 3rd words by the way! She stood in her mother's lap the rest of the game and screamed as much as anyone else in the stands!! She is 6 now and has a hounds tooth skirt and BAMA jersey she wears to school. She loves AL as much as any of us! She still screams as much as any fan at the home games. This would be the ULTIMATE birthday present for her! Thanks for reading this. Suzy Cook, McCalla

PS Truly love ur work.
I came to Tuscaloosa to teach Learn-to-Swim programs for those who are economically-challenged or have special needs. While swimming will always be my favorite sport, ALABAMA FOOTBALL is now a close second! I've learned 3 things since my arrival: Saturday swim lessons never "make" during football season, anything connected to ALABAMA FOOTBALL makes a great fundraiser and teaching new swim skills are easier when connected to a football reference...all our swimmers learned to breathe on their side thanks to "ROLL TIDE ROLL!" Your inspiring print would be a great fundraising item, IF we can "bear" to part with it ;)

ReplyDeleteI was a member of the Million Dollar Band from 1978 through the 1981 season. I went to the Bear's office and requested to meet him.

The photo hangs in my living room today. Roll Tide!!

ReplyDeleteI have been an Alabama fan all my life. Alabama Football is a Southern point of honor, and that can never be taken away by anyone that would like to paint us southerners as lazy, uneducated, hateful, louts. Anyone who remembers "Bear" Bryant knows that he was an icon of what a country boy can become. He accomplished a lot in coaching, but I am proud of the way he comported and conducted himself as a true southern gentleman. He showed a lot of us country boys how.
ReplyDeleteChris Brewer,
ReplyDeleteBeen a big Alabama fan. I love to collect prints, sometimes I can't afford them but when I do I try to snatch them up. I'd love to have one of the prints that you're giving away! I'm just 23 years old but still a huge Alabama fan! Always been big into Paul Bear Bryant. He got us 6 national championship and 13 conference championships! University of Maryland, UK, and Texas A&M had him at one time but we got the best of what The Bear had to offer as a coach! ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Your paintings are beautiful. What a fitting tribute your painting of "Missing Bear". Bear died 14 days after my 15th birthday, a day I remember well. I cried as if losing a member of my family. Later I insisted my husband finish his degree at Alabama and proudly watched as he walked as an honor student. I'm sure your prints will be treasured by whomever wins. Bless you and Roll Tide! waldropal@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI won't sit here and say that I am the biggest Alabama fan. Every true fan loves Alabama football with a passion. We have a tradition, loyalty, honor, class. This is an awesome tribute to arguably the best coaches to grace the sidelines of a football field. 14 will be heaven in 2011!

I found your blog by chance and am amazed at your talent. I met you briefly many, many years ago and knew then that you were somewhat a "notch" above us in the "gettin' thing's done" arena and I admired that. Why do I want your print? Because for many years I have lived in southwest Florida among Gators, 'Noles, Hurricanes, etc., and it's been tough. My kids are all Bama fans inspite of me marrying a Gator and frankly, Kendall, to have this in my office would ease some of my homesickness that I feel to this day, 26 years later. I also want it because you are a talented artist and you hit the nail on the head with the depiction of our beloved Bear. So there!
ReplyDeleteMy parents are lifelong Alabama FANS and what would be better than giving them this awesome painting for their upcoming birthdays when my dad turns 80 and my mom turns 75, plus they will celebrate 55 years of ROLL TIDE marriage!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented Kendall, miss you....

I really like the print, I am a HUGE BAMA fan. Have the ideal spot. The Bear was such an inspiration to a lot of players. Long live BAMA and the memory of Paul "Bear" Bryant. Tiffany Starr, at burnettchannell@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteThis is my Daughter's (Ashley Miller) last year as a member of the Million Dollar Band! This would be a great thing to have for her last year to march at the Bryant-Denny Stadium where THE BEAR once stood on the sideline and now stands over the field!

I would love to say I'm the biggest fan of Alabama,but,anyone can say that. I live far away from home here in Oregon,matter of fact I live in Eugene home of the University of Oregon. I display my Bama flag, wear my Bama shirts,show off pictures I have hanging in my home as well as educate these people in Pac10 land on what Tide Pride and Tradition stand for,therefore, I would be honored to have one of your works of art.Thanks for considering me,have a nice day ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Your Awesome Print would be a Birthday present to my son that eats, sleeps, and drinks Bama Pride!!! and under circumstances out of his control he is having to attend the other university in Alabama. My son, Wade, has his Bama car tag, Bama flag in his front yard and his Bama shirt worn to class and does this with that Bama love instilled from birth by yours truly, his Mom... Apple does not fall far from the tree. Hehe!!! Roll Tide, and the tradition continues...
