Championship in Burnt Orange
The greatest game ever in college football? UT fans know it was. In creating this group of paintings, the challenge was to use three oil colors, burnt sienna (burnt orange), white, and black to reflect twelve Rose Bowl memories. In a few paintings, like the one in which confetti swirls around Vince Young, I did add a few other colors. There were so many other plays and great players I wanted to depict but time and lack of sleep were a restriction. I hope you enjoy these moments of the game. –Ray Spivey
