I have been going to our local Whitecaps games with my grandson lately. We have had a great time so I decided to paint a few of the guys pictures. This is Nick Avila a right handed picture for the Whitecaps. He is number 20. In the photo I got of him he has mustache and little goatee. He pitched the night I took the picture but I did not have a real good shot of him. The next time I saw him it was cut off. Oh well this will have to do. He looks like his cousin, C. Alex Avila the catcher of the Detroit Tigers. I happened to talk to him at a game and he was asking about the pictures I had given to some of the other players. He was so nice I decided to paint one of him. He is a year older than his cousin. He was very nice to talk to.
This is a picture of Ernie Young the manager of the Whitecaps. Every time I have photo-graft him he has a very stern face. Ernie has been coaching the White Caps for two years now. The Whitecaps are a farm team for the Detroit Tigers. I have truly enjoyed to games this year. Both of these watercolor paintings will be given to the people they represent,
