Ross Watson’s football spirit

Ross Watson’s portrait of Collingwood AFL footballer Brodie Holland is part of the Spirit Of Football exhibition currently showing at Federation Square in Melbourne.

The portrait, which sold for $20,000, has been chosen as the publicity image for the National Gallery of Victoria exhibition. Watson has also produced a limited edition of 45 numbered prints which are on sale for $450 through his website, www.rosswatson.com. Full proceeds from the print sales will be donated to the Gay and Lesbian Switchboard.

Stay tuned for more football fantasy from Watson -“ he is currently painting Holland’s team-mate Paul Licuria with no shorts on.
