This spirited drawing is rendered by hand and signed by the artist, capturing the Cincinnati Reds after a big win. Payne, a Cincinnati native, captures the emotional celebration from Sept. 28, 2010 when Jay Bruce's walk-off home run clinched the 2010 National League Central Division title for the Reds. The image features caricatures of Reds players Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips, Jay Bruce, Bronson Arroyo, Jonny Gomes, Scott Rolen, manager Dusty Baker and others. The work comes with a key to identify each of the figures in the piece.
