Longtime Tigers announcer Ernie Harwell inspires ArtPrize painting



GRAND RAPIDS -- Jerry Douglas never has been a big baseball fan.

Lucky for him, Ernie Harwell transcended sports.

Douglas, an artist from Boyne City, has ventured to ArtPrize 2010 with his oil painting "Voice from the Shadows," a 7-foot image depicting Harwell, the late longtime Detroit Tigers radio broadcaster, looking down from his announcer's booth over the players and fans in old Tiger Stadium.

The painting is on display at God's Kitchen, 303 S. Division Ave. LINK

The full story from Jerry Douglas is at the link.
