Arnold Palmer Signed Original 1/1 Augusta National Amen Corner Bill Waugh Canvas Painting

World-renown artist Bill Waugh found himself diligently preparing a crowded paint palette carrying tints of blue, green, pink and purple that would make the most eccentric Easter Sunday ensembles look tame. He was in fact moments away from touching brush to canvas and paint a favorite study of his, Augusta National Golf Club's Amen Corner. His familiarity with the prized subject matter is evident in this stunning, vibrant depiction with great depth and detail after hundreds of bristle strokes. He knew that depicting the club's azalea bushes lining Amen Corner with Rae's Creek running under the dedicated Hogan and Sarazen Bridges would be different this time, as he would be presenting it to a fellow 'King' in Arnold Palmer for signature of approval. Upon viewing Palmer carefully applied his bold, black sharpie signature with precision along with an additional welcomed inscription 'Masters Champion.' Arnold Palmer, like Waugh, was also very familiar with this storybook golf venue. Included in Palmer's reign was a significant hold on the Masters Tournament winning in the even years of 1958, 1960, 1962, and 1964. Bill Waugh has established himself as one of Golf's most influential international artists. Among his clients he can name many of the game's elite including Steve Ballesteros, Greg Norman, Gary Player and multiple U.S. Presidents. Waugh's calling card for decades has been depicting famous courses and their clubhouses in beautiful watercolors and oils. Such is his prowess that apart from his special commissions he has produced work for the Open, the U.S. Open, the Ryder Cup and famous clubs around the world. This original one of a kind painting is surely among his finest works of art, adorned by Arnie's stamp of approval! James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot. 31 1/2"x15 3/4."
