Reigning Tigers (LSU Football) - Original Oil Painting

Reigning Tigers
Original Oil Painting by Daniel A. Moore

In 2003, the LSU Tigers were one of three unbeatens at the end of the regular season. In the AP Poll, the Trojans of USC were number one with LSU ranked second and the Oklahoma Sooners third. However, the BCS computers had Oklahoma and LSU  as 1 and 2. LSU and Oklahoma squared off in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Oklahoma had averaged 45+ points per game while the strength of LSU was its defense which was only giving up 10.5 points and led the nation in yielding an average of only 68.2 rushing yard per game. LSU scored first with 11:38 in the first quarter. OU soon tied the score with their own touchdown halfway through the second period.  Not to be outdone, LSU drove down the field for another TD and the halftime led. At the start of the second half, the Sooners had received the kickoff. Two plays later Jason White's pass was intercepted and returned for a 20-yard TD. White was hassled all night by the Tiger defense being flattened with blitz's but still managed to keep his team in contention. Jack Hunt's tip of a would-be game tying touchdown which fell off the finger tips of Mark Clayton in the end zone preserving a 21-14 Sugar Bowl victory.

Daniel A. Moore's body of work, generated from a life-long labor of love, has grown well into the millions of dollars in created value. His fine art prints have been collected by art lovers across the U.S. and in several foreign countries. But above all, his fine art limited edition prints have become treasured heirlooms of his alma mater's faithful.

For each of his major releases the artist spends hundreds of hours and even 1,000+ hours in creating the original oil painting — the all-important masterwork for a fine art print production. Beginning in 1979, with the sale of The Goal Line Stand  for $10,000, his subsequent masterworks have sold for up to $80,000. In recent years the artist's original oils – each typically measuring 36" x 48" – have been certifiably appraised to establish fair market prices for up to $239,000 for The Tradition Continues ($1,870/sq. in.).

This original oil painting comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. It is framed in a gold lined mahogany frame with a gold fillet, natural linen liner and brass title plate (as shown).

Canvas Size: 48" x 36"
