Absolutely stunning colors and shocking life-like artwork, the latter which gets us non-artistic folks muttering to ourselves “how do they do it!” combine here to produce one of the most sensational renditions of Jean Beliveau we’ve ever handled. Dazzling masterpiece was recently produced by artist Glen Green of North Vancouver and depicts the Habs’ valiant captain in the last half of the 1960s when he was guiding the team to four Stanley Cup triumphs in five years. Artist Green, who has painted “Sportraits” of Gretzky, Orr, Jordan, Montana and other sports legends, uses a loose wash background that gives a feeling of motion and action. Then there’s the look on Beliveau’s face, his classic CCM Custom Pro stick in hand, the “CH” crest, the vibrant colors - what a piece. We like it so much we used it on our company Christmas cards! Painting measures 21” x 29" and has been triple-matted and framed to a big 33” by 40”. Also included is an engraved plaque reading “Jean Beliveau #4 - Original Artwork by Glen Green". An outstanding tribute to Montreal’s greatest leader, it comes with a special opportunity. The lucky high bidder will have the chance to visit our office and meet Jean Beliveau, have the painting signed by the legend if he/she so desires and have it presented to him/her by the icon.
