This is a portrait of Duke women's basketball siblings Abby Waner and Emily Waner finished by Jonathan D. Gordon on March 27, 2006. This Mixed Media work of art was created for Abby Waner ( The best freshman entering the 2005-2006 season.)

Jonathan's Qoute on the Art : " Originaly concieved of as a portrait of Abby alone, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do it as a sibling portrait. Duke is one of the best programs in the country. For both sisters to have the talent to play for Duke, that is amazing. I hope the work did that justice. I am sure I will get a chance to do a Solo Abby picture one day when she is in the WNBA."

This portrait features Chad Johnson and Ohio State wide reciever Santonio Holmes. The Ohio License plate is placed in the background to make a polished work of football art.

Jonathan's Qoute on the Art : " This was the result of an all-nighter. I just wanted to do art of Chad Johnson, When I added Santonio Holmes to make it this Great Ohio piece, I decided to place the Plates in the background. "Recieving Ohio" is one of my favorites so far this year."


This portrait continues the theme of license plate designs with Giants linebacker great Lawrence Taylor and Their newest superstar linebacker Lavar Arrington.

Jonathan's Qoute on the Art : " I love doing the license plate theme. I don't know how many more I will create with this theme. But I was excited to do the art of Lavar Arrington. He is one of my favorite defensive players."

Tammy Williams, Northwestern Wildcats shortstop portrait created by Jonathan D. Gordon.

Jonathan's Qoute on the art: This is the first portrait completed in Lansing,MI where the studio has been moved. I have been watching the WCWS like every year, I was rooting for Cat Osterman who signed art for us to hang in the studio last year. However, when Texas lost I had to find a new team. I was won over by an amazing freshman Tammy Williams whose scrappy Allen Iveronesque performance is probably a sign of great WCWS performancesto come in the future.< I just had to do this portrait while watching.br>

Dave Laroche's Qoute on the art: "It is awesome,I know (the boys) will love it. (Jonathan) really did a wonderful job. This is so nice I am afraid my daughters and mom will want one."
