Artwork Description

Vibrant colour and movement as a West Indies batsman is bowled out in a game of cricket. Stylistically, the picture is influenced by the wall paintings of ancient Egypt and the glass paintings depicting sports that were once a common feature on the exterior walls of Australian pubs.
