Excerpts from the
Globe and Mail article by Tom Hawthorn, January 6, 2006, Artist Captures the Spitting Image of Baseball Greats: A tribute as pretty as a pitcher
"...when Jennifer Ettinger puts brush to canvas, she does so to capture long-dead baseball players in their wool flannel glory."
"She portrays in acrylic the likes of turn-of-the-century pitcher Doc White midway through his high-stepping windup, and Honus Wagner, known in his playing days as The Flying Dutchman, squeezing a thick club as he nonchalantly awaits a pitch."
"I have difficulty painting today’s ballplayers. There isn’t the nostalgia attached to them. People like my dad learned to play baseball based on the characteristics of these ballplayers. He admired them and became a good ballplayer."
