March Madness: When Basketball Becomes Art

There’s something about college basketball in March that feels downright electric. The NCAA tournament isn’t just a sports event; it’s a festival of underdog stories and buzzer-beating shots. I wanted my painting to reflect that excitement, imagining the roar of the crowd and the thrill of a last-second shot in every brushstroke. Basketball is more than just a sport; it’s a universal invitation. You can grab a friend or play solo. You don’t need a massive team. It’s that accessibility that sparks the imagination. As an artist, I love how the game mirrors the creative process—start simple, add layers, and let your passion run free.
